I am a person who believes greatly in the power of prayer....and I pray for alot of people, and am now needing some prayers for my brother and his  family.

My brother's ex wife, passed away very unexpectedly in her home yesterday.  We dont know what happened yet, we think a heart attack, she was 45.  They have two boys,  Tyler (13) who is severely autistic, and  Josh(11) who is a really great boy.  My brother has had full custody of his children for the past year since their divorce.  They were together for over 20 years and despite a very difficult  couple years,  the last month or so, they have been trying to work on their friendship for the sake of the boys. My brother has a hard life with Tyler, as does Josh.  I have seen my strong brother cry just a few times and its scaring me to see him so torn up.  Please pray for his little family and for her family too.

Oh Lord our God, I pray that You will be the comfortthis family needs and may the rest of his family and support system understand how to reach out and help him through this difficult time.

Please under gird them with the knowledge of your presence and care. May Your will be accomplished in their lives as they learn to trust in and look for your hand at work. For the glory of Christ our Lord.

Dear and Gentle Father, how we need you at these times. We are mindful of Cindy's brother and the children. Their loss is very great and the changes that will come must be so frightening to them. Let no one be overlooked here, open the hearts of those who fill their lives to bring strong love and support as this grieving family travels a bumpy road. We hardly understand our good days and simply cannot fathom the very painful times such as this but one thing we do know...we can come to you with all of our sadness and fear and needs and so we do...and so we do.
Amen
