Our continued prayer for Callie and her children:

Christ Jesus, helper of the weak, You know, Jesus, the challenges and burdens of those who are caring for Callie, mother of three small children, are facing throughout the final days of Callie’s afflictions. We pray Lord Jesus, that Callie finds forgiveness in her heart for her brother and mother so she can rest in peace in Your arms and see them again when Jesus resurrects our bodies to eternal life with Him in Heaven. Dear Jesus please bring information to the grandmother who has been apprehended from a visit, about the Children and what is going to become of them. Watch over those little ones while the changes for them are going on. Comfort them when their mother becomes unavailable to them. You are our only hope for some relief here. You can inspire at least the Catholic lady with Callie to write about the children’s future.

Jesus, You took human flesh upon Yourself to suffer the full weight of human frailty. You endured painful trials, overcame the stress of Satan’s temptations, and carried our sins and sorrows to Your death on the cross. As Your touch brought healing of body, mind and soul to others, we ask that, if it be Your will, You grant healing also to Callie if not her body then her heart. If it pleases You to allow her in this affliction give her full measure of Your patience that in You she may endure the weaknesses of her flesh, remain steadfast in her faith in You, and receive full and perfect healing in the life to come.

Heavenly Father, we praise You for the lives that You granted us with those we love dearly, even if separations are difficult. You have Your reasons for doing what You are doing. Sometimes the sin factor makes it necessary and we fully comprehend that. It is for the person’s good to keep them out of the prophesied lake of fire.

It is a great cause of celebration knowing that You have created us, giving us our body and soul, our reason and all our senses. You have created us as a unique, one of a kind person, giving us features that are uniquely ours and recognized by You. Thank You for giving our lives purpose and meaning. Even more, You have graciously made us your children and heirs through the new birth of Holy Baptism and faith in You. Amid the the sad reports we are able to continue with our assignments and give You glory. We thank You for quiet moments in conversation with You, our Creator. We are so glad to be Your children, and since You told us that Heaven is full of children we can rest assured that You will take the place of Callie and watch over her children and make sure they will be in a good home together. You told us that we can depend on Your love and grace forever. We pray this prayer in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord, in the unity of the Holy Spirit. Amen
