Father, remembering Sandy who was such a gentle and compassionate woman. Both she and Allen reached out to pray for me as a lonely college student trying to find my way in the world. Now I lift up Pastor Allen to You King Jesus along with the parents & siblings of 5-year old granddaughter “T,” & the parents and siblings of the almost ten-year old son, “P.” LORD Jesus I also lift up 12-year old, “E” who was not hurt badly when riding with Pastor Allen but witness the subsequent damage and fire of his grandma’s car with family members inside the vehicle. Father, protect E’s mind & heart as he witnessed the accident. LORD, bring Your covering to protect him from lasting trauma. Holy Spirit I call upon You humbly to meet the needs of each and every family member suffering from this traumatic loss in Jesus’ name. May You Father bring beauty from ashes and gain much glory despite these tragic events. Also, minister to the truck driver that he may know You. Amen.

Father, I thank You for the prayers of many saints for Pastor Allen. He recently had a comforting vision of his wife who was killed in the 5-vehicle accident in which he had suffered debilitating injuries, lost his wife of 35+ years, a teenaged grandson, a 10-year old granddaughter and had recently come off of life support, himself. The vision Pastor Allen recounts was he could feel great comfort and gentleness, the face of his wife was shining and joyful as she was telling him she was alright. The vision was written down and shared with some friends and made it into the hands of some PK’s (Preacher’s Kids) in a neighboring state that knew Al and his wife) that weren’t serving the LORD. One was a bartender and recounted the testimony to a friend and they both started crying then another woman overheard the testimony and joined them in tears sharing she had known this couple in childhood and was a playmate to one of their children. 📓Father, I thank You that in the midst of tragedy and great loss, You are there. Though the enemy means to steal, kill and destroy, You can bring forth great healing and eternal life for many who would otherwise be stuck in a slow death with no repentance and hard hearts with a stagnating satisfaction of this worldly existence. LORD Jesus, please continue to bring not just physical healing into Pastor Allen, but spiritually and in every way into many families. Stir up souls through this testimony to humble themselves and find eternal life and forgiveness being reconciled by Your great love and the hope we have that is greater than death, calamity and destruction in Jesus’ name this is prayed. Thank you for the miracle of bringing this man through this horrific tragedy with speedy healing. We don’t understand why this happened but we trust in You, LORD Jesus. We ask that You would continue to strengthen Allen and his children as they mourn their losses. Bless and comfort them as they go through this valley of the shadow of death. Thank You Father that You have overcome the world and death for us all. Amen, Come LORD Jesus! Maranatha!
