Pray for Selah...

Hey friends,

I want to ask you to pray for this 3-year-old girl, Selah.  Lance (her father) was one of my college roommates for a couple of years.  This family is very dear to us.  They are currently missionaries in Rwanda.  They have been in the process of moving, and a metal box accidentally fell on Selah's head.  Due to this accident, she has been suffering from a fracture to the base of her skull (which is causing her brain to swell), spinal fluid leaking from her ear, and damage to one of her eye sockets.  She is sedated and on ventilation.  Due to the swelling of her brain, the next 24 hours are extremely critical.

I must confess that prayer has been a spiritual discipline that I have struggled with the most.  I am one of those people that will tell someone, "I will pray for you," but then a couple of days later I realize I have forgotten.  This situation has certainly drawn me to my knees.  God hears our prayers and he answers.  I know that he will heal Selah.  Please pray without ceasing with me.

I got this picture in my head as I was praying this morning.  I saw Jesus, the Lover of our souls, standing next to Selah with his hand resting on her head.  He was saying, "I am here and I am not going anywhere.  I love you."  Praise our Father that we have a Great High Priest that knows our pain and sorrows.
