I am requesting your prayers for a dear friend of mine, John (trailname "Seabreeze"), who is now officially a Missing Person. Seabreeze retired last month and was fulfilling his dreams of hiking the Pacific Crest Trail (he has already hiked the Appalachian Trail). He hiked into the San Jacinto Mountains in California on May 2 on the PCT and has not been seen or heard from since. He has not picked up any maildrops since 5/2 in Anza, no friends or relatives have heard anything from him, and no other hikers in the area have seen him north of Anza. A search and rescue mission is being organized by law enforcement and hiker friends, who skipped the San Jacinto Mountains earlier due to bad snow conditions, are preparing to hike that section and will be looking for him. Trail conditions have been bad, with snow, ice and dangerous "chutes" forming. By the time we realized Seabreeze was missing, it was this past Sunday. As of today he has been missing for 23 days - he was only carrying 3-5 days of food. Frankly, at this point in time, we are praying for a miracle. Any prayers you would be inclined to offer would be much appreciated by his family and large circle of friends. Thank you, MissMagnolia
"For he will give his angels charge of you to guard you in all your ways, On their hands they will bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone ......... And the Lord says "Because he cleaves to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name. When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will rescue him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation." (from Psalm 91)
God bless and keep you John, Karen

Prayers up for your friend. May both yourself and his family find comfort in this difficult time.
Prayers for your friend. The San Jacintos can be tricky. 25+ years ago, I got caught in a freak snowstorm above Idyllwild when I was in the Boy Scouts. About a year later, a Girl Scout troop got lost in whiteout conditions in the same area.
Lord Jesus, you know where Seabreeze is, please lead these brave searchers to him.
Prayers for Seabreeze.
