Thank you, Lord, for Your love and unending Grace. We know it pleases you to witness the faith expressed and lived by Ralph and his family. We don't understand why those who love you are often challenged so deeply, but we trust you, Lord.
We claim your promise that our prayers are heard and we ask blessings on Ralph's family and those who struggle with their sister's suffering. Ease her pain and that of those around her. Lift them up and keep them strong. Bring them Your peace that passess all our understanding.
Thank you, Lord, for allowing me, a shallow, empty vessle, to come to you with burdens.
