Prayer for the Blackwell's

Dear Family, Please lift up Pryor and Sue Blackwell and their family during the hard, dark days ahead. As most of you know, his son, Brandon, only 16 years old, took his own life earlier this week. Please also pray for travel mercy's for all who will be attending the funeral, including Joel, who is on his way to Dallas now.

God is good and sovereign all the time, I pray that hearts would be changed and grow closer to the Lord through this horrible tragedy.

Blessings!
Shari

Oh my, the anguish of their hearts must be unspeakable. I am glad Joel will be there to embrace his life long friend. "Let us come boldly to the very throne of God and stay ther to receive His mercy and to find grace to help un in our time of need" Heb 4:16

There is so much pain involved here. Only our Lord can comfort grief that deep. My heartfelt prayers are going up to God's throne for all the family and friends. Nana 1

I hope the Blackwells will feel the presence of the Holy Spirit as friends pray for them as they go through the blackest hour of their life. We will be praying that the Lord will hold them up.

Shari, I will start praying immediately! I cannot imagine what they are going through. I will pray that the Lord will give Joel the perfect comforting words to say.
