Please pray for Sarah (updated)

sarah (photo credit Lori Elizabeth)

Sarah and baby Cecilia passed away last night. Please continue to pray for her family.

One of my best friends is in the hospital on life support.  She was attacked by what we believe were yellow jackets and had an allergic reaction.  Further tests revealed a ruptured aneurysm on her brain.  She is 21 weeks pregnant with her fifth child, a baby girl named Cecilia.  Please join me in praying for Sarah, her husband Eric, and their children, Liam, Annalee, Jude, Faustina, and tiny Cecilia.  Friends and family are saying goodbyes while praying and hoping for a miracle.

    There are so many praying for Sarah today. She lives on the other side of the United States from me, but has been in my Facebook feed twice already this morning. So many people praying for a miracle, including our family.
    We will hold Sarah, her unborn baby, her family and yours in our hearts and lift this up in prayer.

    Praying that the Lord lays his healing hands upon her. She is needed by her babies. Jesus, I trust in you. Please heal Sarah. Amen.

    4 Years ago today, I died during childbirth and was revived only for my family to hear that there was little chance for my survival. They also said their goodbyes. And. many people prayed for me. 4 years ago today, I received a great miracle and survived something very few live to talk about! Today, I am praying for a miracle for Sarah. May the Lord rescue her and her family from their suffering. May the Holy Spirit work through every doctor and nurse. May Sarah live to see her husband and children again.

    Lord God – it is true that you are sovereign, yet your purposes are often a mystery to us.

    In the midst of all that is inexplicable, you grant us the gift of prayer, so we beg your mercy for Sarah, her husband, and her little brood – for life in the face of death, for hope in your everlasting goodness, for your Holy Spirit’s to comfort them with the embrace of your love. Amen.

    Praying. A friend of mine heard that her college-age daughter has a seizure and was underwater in the camp swimming pool last Friday. We are praying for a recovery for her, too. These are hard things.
