Pray for a friend...


A few weeks ago I had the privilege of preaching a youth camp for a great bunch of teens from churches here in the mid-west. One of the young men I met there was a guy named Matt. He really loves the Lord, and I saw his heart during the week of camp. We had some great conversations that week, and Matt shared with me that his father has cancer, and is not doing well at all. But check out what he emailed me tonight:

"But one thing we as a family have learned that death does not get the final word."

Isn't that a tremendous statement of faith? This family can sure use our prayers. If you think of Matt tonight, how about praying for Matt, his dad, and his entire family.

Philippians 4:6-7 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. (7) And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

We are praying, Matt!
