A Call To Prayer - Part 2

Some of you may remember back in November I posted the story about Carlos and Jenn and baby Elijah. Baby Elijah was a miracle since the day of his birth. He had many things going against him, but the chain of prayer and love was much stronger than his little body. Through prayer we all fought for him, for his life. We stood by and watched Jesus carry him through so much longer than science said he could. God is SO Good. But in faith, Carlos and Jenn have always known and believed that Elijah was Christ's first.

Today, Elijah is resting in the Arms of His Maker. We rejoice and thank God for allowing Elijah to spend several precious days with his parents and loved ones. We rejoice because today he is whole and healthy, he is no longer weak by the restrictions of his body.

I call you to prayer once more for this precious family. It will be a long journey of healing for Carlos and Jenn in the days that lie ahead. Pray for constant comfort for them in those moments when they feel the pain and weight of broken hearts. Pray that God will continue to carry them through as He has carried them and Elijah through this far. And especially pray that Elijah's story, and his life of faith, will reach many who have not heard of Christ's love and faithfulness. I truly believe that it will.

Carlos and Jenn, I know there are no words I can say and no way I could possibly understand what you're going through. But I will say this...
I love you guys.
I am here for you.
And well, I love you.
