New Ways to Pray

In my sister's blog today, she shared how bloggers are using their blogs for more than just sharing their thoughts. They are using them to spread the word about urgent prayer requests ... and, God is answering those prayers! Periodically, I get the go here or there and yesterday was no exception. Yesterday, I got word to pray for Gracyn Denbesten ...

and it took my breath away. Because this sweet one is not a stranger. Gracyn is 9 years old and is currently in Shands Children's Hospital in Gainesville, FL waiting for a new heart. Gracyn is a student at the school we were a part of while we were in Orlando. Go and read her story and know this ... God alone will be glorified.

Sweet Jesus, today we ask for healing of a heart that doctor's say is diseased. If that isn't your plan, we ask for a new heart ... a perfect heart that will come in your perfect timing. We pray for a donor family ... we know what we are asking for when we ask for a new heart. Please be with Gracyn. Overwhelm her with your love for her. Bring comfort and strength and peace. May every nurse and doctor who steps foot in her door know that she is yours ... and that she is strong because of you. Be with her family ... especially her brothers who are still in Orlando. Be for them exactly what they need in the moment they need it. Jesus, may you be glorified in this.
