Urgent Prayer Request: Pastor and Wife in Auto Accident (Update at #152)
Word from my Dad

Earlier this evening, our pastor and his wife were involved in a terrible auto accident near Rockford, Illinois. Carlton is 67, and Lily is 65. Neither have been in good health for quite some time, and Lily suffered a major stroke several months ago which has left her unable to feed or care for herself.
Both Carlton and Lily have suffered multiple fractures of the ribs and hips as a result of this accident. Carlton's blood pressure is dangerously low, and he is really not aware of his surroundings. As Lily cannot talk, no one is quite sure just yet of her level of awareness.
Compounding this problem is their financial state. The church has never seen fit to pay Carlton very much for his dedication and devotion, nor have they provided any sort of medical insurance for Carlton and Lily. My Dad has had to fight tooth-and-nail just to get minimal raises for Carlton over the years.
Their daughters, Carlene and Joanna, have been doing their best to care for their parents, but neither of them are in good health either...Joanna had a heart attack a few years ago.
Would you please pray for miraculous healing for these two very precious souls? Joanna needs prayer support also, as she was driving at the time they were broadsided, and feels very guilty.
Thank you all so very much!

Dear Lord, I pray that you would either heal this couple or take them home quickly.

Yes, prayers up for this family; that God would be extra close to them, comfort them, watch over them as they trust Him to meet their physical, emotional and financial needs at this time. Amen.

Dear God,
I'm praying for Carlton and Lilly.
Please comfort them.
Please guide the doctors, nurses and caregivers.
Please comfort Carlene and Joanna.
Your will be done Lord.
In Jesus' most Holy name I pray this prayer.
Amen.
