Please Pray with Me

"For You created my inmost being; You knit me

together in my mother's womb.

I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully

made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in

the secret place. When I was woven together in the

depths of the earth, Your eyes saw my unformed body.

All the days ordained for me were written in your book

before one of them came to be"

Psalm 139:13 - 16

My heart is so very heavy, my shirt is soaked with tears, my grief is the biggest I've yet known. My cousin Katie and her husband William learned yesterday that their baby boy, Henry, has Trisomy 13. The doctors expect that Henry will be with Jesus before his birth or shortly after. Katie and William's hearts are broken, and I deeply covet your prayers over them and over the rest of our family. We know that God is sovereign. We know that all of Henry's sweet days have been most lovingly written. We know that Henry will be made new.

Katie has always been a loving sister to me, her pain is my own, just as mine would be hers. God gave Henry a sweet gift in giving Katie as his mommy. I pray that God would cradle my cousin, that He would sustain and comfort her, that He would give her peace that passes understanding. I pray that God would soften all of our pain. Please pray with me.
