Prayer


This is a picture of my brother Mike. He is 36 years old and is married with two children ages 5 and 7. On Thursday August 20th he was in a car accident. He and his daughter were headed to the store to get her a fishing hat and supplies for their daddy daughter fishing weekend. They were struck by a semi truck who ran a red light. His daughter escaped with minor injuries. Mike had to be extracted from the car with the jaws of life. He was then air lifted to the nearest trauma center. He is in critical condition. He has severe brain trauma, a broken neck at vertibra 2 and 3, a broken sternum and other various minor injuries. He is in a coma and is on a ventilator.

I ask for you to please pray for him and our family. We know that God can do great things and we have asked God to surround Mike with His healing hands.

Thank-you in avance for your prayers,

Christy

    Thank-you all for your prayers. I know God hears them. I am sure Mike would be so touched to know how many people are praying for him. I will also let my parents and his wife know today as well as I am headed back to the hospital. I print everything out for them to read. It encourages them through this difficult time.

    I am so sorry to hear of Mike's accident, which I learned about on MaryDon's (Blushing Rose Boutique) blog. I'm lifting up Mike in prayer right now and will add this to the prayer requests in my blog.
