O Nancy please don't appologise for asking for prayer!! That is one of the
blessings of being a part of the body of Christ. It is an honor to pray for
you dear sister.

I am praying for you and your whole family. Let the God of peace shower you
with His loving peace and let Him carry you through this time. I know
personally that He can and will do just that. Our hearts may break and just
hurt to the point of feeling like it will just fall right out of our
chest..but the God of creation..will carry us through. When you think you
can't bear up anymore just look up to the sky and think of the universe..our
galaxy and so many more on and on...God created it all. He who did that can
take care of our daily needs. Praise the Lord!!!

Please ask for prayer often...Nancy, will you please pray for us too. It is
so hard for me to have our son in such big trouble. I am praying that God
provide just the right thing to help our son live his life right.

God bless and keep you all..

Love, Sharon
