Please Pray for Sam...

Sam is a little boy in Olivia's 2nd grade class. Last week he began vomiting at school. Thinking it was a stomach bug he went home from school early. A couple days later he was still vomiting at home. His mom took him to the doctor and they found a brain tumor. He was rushed to Children's Hospital in Little Rock. The tumor has been removed but the doctors believe it is cancer. He will undergo chemo soon. Please pray for Sam, his family and RE Baker Elementary. Olivia's class is heartbroken for this fellow student and friend.

Specifically pray...

*God will give the doctors and surgeons wisdom to help Sam.

* God will comfort and bring peace to the family.

* God will show Himself and make His presence known to all the staff at the hospital.

* God will bring comfort and peace to the students at school.

*I don't know if this family has a relationship with Christ, but pray for God to send someone to draw them to Him! Pray for their salvation.

*and ultimately, Pray for God's Will to be done.

I can't begin to imagine what this family is feeling. The roller coaster they will begin and endure for months. We don't know why God allows certain tragedies to come through our lives. I know God will receive the glory in the end. Nothing comes to us without going through His hands first. Thank you Lord for having a plan for our lives. Thank you for your Sovereignty. Thank you for loving us so much to die for us that we may spend eternity with you!

  1. Oh Bethany! We will DEFINITELY be praying so hard for this precious boy. If you know any more details, can you please email me? I want to try and reach out to their family. I have made it a mission to reach out to especially people with brain tumors. It is very close to my heart. My family will be praying for Sam also!
