Please Pray

I can’t believe I am putting up another crisis “please pray” post in such a short time, but I am really asking all of you to please, please PRAY for our friend’s little boy who was born last night and has a life-threatening medical concern. He and his mother have been flown to the Children’s hospital in Colorado and his father, brother, and grandparents are driving there right now.

The problem may be fixable or it may be fatal. We are praying for the former! Please join with us, won’t you?

The father is a beloved staff member at Peacemakers. I just can’t believe we have another Peacemaker staff member whose son is in jeopardy. Every time I think about it I cry. And pray. My chest just aches.

God’s sovereignty. God’s goodness. God’s care. They sound so sweet and lovely in the abstract, but real-life is often just unbelievably hard. How sick I am of this fallen world. How tired I am of the suffering of the saints. Creation groans out for redemption and I am groaning tonight too.

Thanks for joining with me in prayer. And thanks in advance for bearing with me not revealing any names—I was reticent to even put this post up because I know this is not my story to tell. But I also know that many of you are true prayer warriors and tonight I wanted you to be praying with me for the life of this little baby and for his parents too. Thanks, friends.
