A Prayer Request
Would you please pray for a dear family that I know who were involved in a tragic accident over the weekend? The dad, one daughter and their son died in a car accident in Colorado. The mother {Janelle} and her teenage twin daughters {Avery and Alyssa} survived. They were God-honoring, joyful, fellow-workers for the gospel. It will be a long road ahead for these women so please keep them in your prayers. They have suffered broken bones {vertebrae, pelvis, clavicle, etc}, ruptured organs and numerous cuts. However, they are already testifying to the Lord’s goodness even in this dark time. Thank you for praying.
Though we live in the world of death and sorrow, God our Father is here, and will be here all through the lonely hours. He is an almighty Watcher, a sleepless Guardian, a faithful Friend. Nothing can happen without His direction, for even hell itself is under His control. Darkness is not dark to Him. Children of light may walk in darkness, but they are not therefore cast away, nay, they are now enabled to prove their adoption by trusting in their heavenly Father as hypocrites cannot do.
“Though the night be dark and dreary,
Darkness cannot hide from Thee;
Thou art He, who, never weary,
Watchest where Thy people be.”
CH Spurgeon, Morning and Evening

Thanks Benji. Can you even imagine what they are going through? Only the Lord can provide the kind of strength to carry on from something like that.
I’m still speechless.
But you know Ken, Jace, and Jenna are resting so peacefully in the Lord’s arms. They are truly alive now!

I can’t even imagine the depth of pain. But I am certain that God will compensate with immeasurable grace.
