Urgent Prayer Request

I received an email from a friend tonight asking me to add Deborah Fast and her son Andrew Patterson to our list of prayer concerns. Deborah's 17-year-old daughter Shay died this past Wed. I can't imagine the grief and heartbreaking loneliness Deborah must be feeling right now and the questions poor Andrew must be asking - the whys and hows and what ifs. Please lift them up. Pray for comfort and for a peace that passes all understanding. Please pray for all the students at the high school that Shay attended. A tragedy like this can be incomprehensible to adults let alone teens who are just beginning to learn how this big, sometimes scary world works. Pray that God will wrap them all in His loving arms and that in the days, weeks, and months to come the love of Jesus will heal them all. Thank you.
