many prayer warriors out there I know - prayers appreciated
A young Pastoral couple whom we love dearly recently concieved thier second child -a child that was thought to be impossible given this woman's Lyme disease . she delivered last week.
She suffered a placental embolism and amniotic fluid entered her blood stream causing cardiac arrest. She is on life support and is brain dead.
Two things to pray for - recovery of course, but if that doesnt happen, pray for insight for the father who now faces, birth,death of his spouse,an anniversary, and CHrists Birth all in the same span of two weeks
There is talk of discontinuing support, but my hope is that some time is allowed between the birth and that possible eventuality - I worry the month and it's blessing may forever be stained for this child, even though the two children literally "bookended" thier relationship
This woman was powerfully filled with the promise of our God and her witness surpassed even that of her husband, who managed thier church
..and while we mourn this turn of events - there is a deep sense of Faith which is carrying him - these are hard decisions and he has looked to my wife (we are older) and asked if we've walked here before
we haven't but with your prayer, we do it together in Christ and His strength
.please pray hard for this family.
Prayers
Prayers for a miracle for this family.
Lord Jesus, be with this family of Thy servants in their suffering and grant them Thy abundant grace.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, amen.
Amen.
Oh my what sadness and joy. Prayers for mother and child for strength and hope.
Prayers for the family and friends for comfort.
Praying now.
I am at a loss and no words can express what I feel for them.
