Default Please pray for my community

This year has been really hard for me emotionally, and after yesterday, I think my whole community is in need of prayers.
My neighbor, in her late 30's had a massive heart attack and passed away, she leaves behind a 8 yr old daughter, one of my friends passed from cancer, and another of my friend's grandson, who is in his early 30's, had a stroke. All three were related to each other.
Another family, in my area, son took his own life.
Then there is dear little Emily, she is 10 now, at age 1 she had a liver transplant, she is in the hospital and struggling. Her body has rejected the liver, yesterday they stopped giving her the rejection medicine in hopes of saving her body and preparing her for another transplant.
So please, if you would, say a pray for my community. I think we all could use a little extra TLC from the man upstairs.

Praying, Connie! It is so difficult to understand why such things seem to happen in waves sometimes. Praying that He will see the families through these difficult times, and that such circumstances will bind the community closer together rather than having it split them apart. And praying for you, Connie. I know it's been a tough year for you. Know He does hold you in the palm of His hand.

Peace

Ohhh, Connie, I'm sorry. You all must hold each other tight. It sounds like you are a close community and that is so many tragic events all at once to bear.

Connie, I know this must have your community reeling. One such tragedy is devastating but so many at once. Someone told me that this was to be a year when a lot of people would 'leave us' and it certainly seems to be coming true. Hugs and prayers for strength from not too far away. Maureen
