Another call to pray...

I never imagined when I started this business that God would trust me with such tender moments along the way. First it was Ellie, 3 years old fighting a rare and aggressive form of cancer, then it was Mike, father of 3 young boys about to start chemo, then Joshua laying in a hospital bed after falling 3 stories from a bedroom window and on Saturday it was Melissa. A brand new mom, only 28 years old fighting her own battle with cancer. I feel so honored to be able to meet these precious people to hear their stories and to lift them before our Father in heaven in silent prayer as I capture this part of their journey on film. It wasn't difficult to relate to Melissa, we are both daughters, wives and moms, and as I caught glimpses of each relationship from behind my lens, I would wonder what it must be like to be in her shoes, walking this road. So, once again, I am asking you to join with me in prayer for Melissa.

Dear Gracious Heavenly Father, Lord thank you for this sweet opportunity to meet Melissa and her family. Lord, I pray that you would be near this family, that you would draw them close to you during this time, that they would see you in a way that they have never seen you before and experience your love in a way they never have before. I pray that you would bring them strength and courage to face the fight ahead and peace and comfort to carry them through. I pray that you would reach down and touch Melissa's body that you would wipe the cancer from every cell in her body and that the miracle of her healing would bring glory and honor to your kingdom. In the precious name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
