If you are reading this blog now, will you take a moment and pray for a very special little girl named Emma who is desperately struggling with cancer and in great pain.

Emma is very precious to her mother and father and to all who know her. Not too long ago Emma went through a surgery which many believed would lead to victory over her disease. In God’s providence, the cancer came back with a vengeance. Last night things took a very bad turn for the worse. Some very dear friends of Vision Forum Ministries stayed with Emma and her parents through most of the night in the hospital and called me today to share the latest report. I believe the Lord would be pleased if we all took time to pray for Emma and her mother and father.

If you are like me, stories like this becomes deeply personal. They are present reminders to all of us as fathers or mothers, that the lives of our children are secure only as long as God wills it so. How desperately we need His mercy. How deeply we need His love. Right now, it would be a tender mercy if the people of God remembered little Emma. Both Emma and her parents would surely be blessed by the encouragement of the prayers of the people of God.
