Gathering in Prayer

Life always has the high points and the valleys.

 Sometimes they follow very closely to one another.

Six weeks ago, Tom and Sandra Becker

 celebrated a beautiful beach wedding

 for their son Tom and his new wife, Janet. 

Within the past two weeks,

 their son Tom was involved in a motorcycle accident in Virginia Beach.

 Tom lost the bottom half of his left leg due to his injuries. 

Tom is currently still in ICU.

In the hours that follow such news,

 there is shock and disbelief and a thousand questions. 

We know and trust that our Lord plants Himself firmly

 in the middle of the messy challenges of life. 

The hard eucharisteo moments. 

When there are no answers and many many questions.

As a community of believers,

 we step forward to boldly ask God's intervention 

at this time 

for healing and recovery- WE PRAY.

In prayer, we have the gift of connecting

 our limited resources to the God of infinite resources.

It moves beyond our wants,

 hopes and needs.

 It is tapping into the supernatural plane of living

 that brings strength that our human endeavors cannot move.

Spend a moment praying this verse

 over Tom and Sandra, and Jeff and Janet.

 Ask the Lord to bring this family His help and comfort.

 Ask for His blessing of safety as they travel many times

 between their home and Virginia Beach in the next month. 

For upcoming surgeries and rehab for Jeff.

 Cover them in prayer.

Rev. Tom and Sandra Becker serve at
 Immanuel Lutheran Church, Preston, MD.
