First, I would like to request that all believing Freeper's be in prayer for a fellow church member of mine. Her 18 mo old son passed away last night after choking on some food. "Jay J", as we all called him, passed away at First Health of the Carolinas last night. Misty, his mom, is a believer and our Pastor, who was with the family last night at the hospital, tearfully testified to us this morning that as Jay J took his last breaths, she held him while singing & praising God for His goodness. She is a woman of great faith but she is also human and will need all of the comfort she can get. Misty and her husband (he's not saved) will be needing Jesus' peace more than anything at this time.

Second, my son's good friend, Adam, was critucally injured in a car accident earlier this week. Someone ran a stop sign and he hit them totalling his truck. His story can be found here along with pics of the wreck. The details are a little off in the newspaper with regards to the hospital.

He was airlifted to and is fighting for his life at UNC Chapel Hill Hospital. He broke both arms, his neck, his wrists, his femurs (both), his jaw, his ribs, and he has head trauma. CAT scans and MRIs indicate he has brain damage although the extent of it is not known. He has not been responsive and is in a coma according to the last update on his condition. Please pray for him. Adam and his girlfriend, Crystal, were to be married in February and she is having a hard time coping with this. Please remember her in your prayers as well as his mother and father.

I appreciate all of you who take the time to pray for others.

Isa 12:3 With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.
Isa 12:4 And you will say in that day: "Give thanks to the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the peoples, proclaim that his name is exalted.

Oh Lord, in quiet humility we present you with so many desperate petitions. We have little control in our lives, but you hold the world together by the power of your Word.

Heb 1:3 He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power.....

Col 1:17 And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

Please hold together these lives, and these broken bodies. Deliver us from the evil one, for yours is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory forever, Amen.
Comfort the hearts of the families. Give them hope.

Trust in God

(Bohemian Brethren)

The night is come, wherein at last we rest,

God order this and all things for the best!

Beneath His blessing fearless we may lie

Since He is nigh.

Drive evil thoughts and spirits far away,

Master, watch o'er us till the dawning day,

Body and soul alike from harm defend,

Thine angel send.

Let holy prayers and thoughts our latest be,

Let us awake with joy, still close to Thee,

In all serve Thee, in every deed and thought

Thy praise be sought.

Give to the sick as Thy beloved sleep,

And help the captive, comfort those who weep,

Care for the widows' and the orphans' woe,

Keep far our foe.

For we have none on whom for help to call,

Save Thee, O God in heaven, who car'st for all,

And wilt forsake them never, day or night,

Who love Thee right.

Father, Thy Name be praised, Thy Kingdom come,

Thy will be wrought as in our heavenly home,

Keep us in life, forgive our sins, deliver

Us now and ever! Amen.

Father of Lights, please have mercy to Adam, to Misty and her husband who so desperately needs to know you, to Crystal and all who surround and support these in their great hour of trial. We lift their names to Thee for Thou dost already know and are intimately acquainted with all their ways, with all that concerns them, and Thou alone will do the work: send workers in Your Strength, dear Father, for Thou Alone Art Good, and this we know through Yeshua, Your Beloved Only Son, in Whose Wonderful Name we come, thanking You that we may participate in releasing Your Power, Your Blessing, Your Love into this terribly dark world. Be exalted among all these things, dear God, that men may know Thee and worship Thee which is our highest good.

Many thanks, Knitting.
