"Pray without ceasing"

I Thessalonians 5:17 Please join us in prayer for Knox Anderson. He was revived after being found unresponsive in a bath tub of water last Friday night. Currently, he is at the Scott and White Hospital in Temple, with his parents. His condition is serious. Knox is about 18 months, just older than Micah.

Specific Prayer Requests
* That Knox's lungs would be healed. They sustained a lot of damage, but are looking better. Praise!!!
* Knox's eyes are responding when exposed to light. HUGE praise!!! Pray that he would continue to become more responsive. The next step is for him to begin to feel pain, so even though that's odd, pray that he would feel pain.
*Pray for his parents, Jon and Rachel. I can't even begin to imagine what they are going through right now. Pray that God would put a hedge of peace and comfort around them.
* Pray for Knox's four older siblings. They are here in College Station, while their parents are in Temple. Pray for calm, comfort, and peace.
*Jon has asked that we pray that God would be merciful to Knox, whether that be to bring him to a full recovery, or to take him home. Even though that is probably the hardest prayer I have ever prayed, please join me in praying for God's mercy to Knox, in whatever way His will would allow.

Jon is the associate pastor at our church. The Andersons have become dear friends to us over the past 18 months they have been here. Please lift up this family in prayer.


"The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed,
a stronghold in times of trouble.
Thos who know your name will trust in you,
for you, Lord, have never forsaken thos who see you."
Psalm 9:9-10
