To Sandy Re: prayers

[Guest guest]

My Dear Sandy,

I can't even put into words how sorry I am. I can't even imagine

what you're going through! I wish there were some magic words to

make it all easier.

Here's some thoughts I want to share with you. This is from Max

Lucado's book, 'The Great House of God.'

" How vital that we pray, armed with the knowlege that God is in

heaven. Pray with any lesser conviction & your prayers are timid,

shallow, & hollow. But spend some time walking in the workshop of

the heavens, seeing what God has done, & watch how your prayers are

energized. " Sandy, I want you to know that I am praying for you &

your friend earnestly, with my whole heart. That both of you can

find the peace that only comes from God, & to be able to continue

seeing what wonders He has done. Go to God & you'll find comfort in

the shadow of his wings. Remember that trouble, hardship, etc. can't

seperate you from the love of Christ. We don't know why loved ones

can be taken from us so suddenly, but maybe there is some comfort

knowing that God is ultimately in control, & He will never leave your

side. He will help you through this. And all those that love & care

about you will help you through this. That's why we carry each

other's burdens. If there's any other way I can help take some of

the weight of this burden from you, please, let me know. Otherwise,

I am here, praying, & asking God to give you & your friend His

strength, wisdom, & peace.

With big, warm hugs,

And lots of love,
