Prayer Needed

I want to use this vehicle today to ask my readers to please pray for my good friends’ daughter, Rachel Siegel.  Rachel graduated from Berkley School of Music in Boston last Saturday.  Late that night, Rachel was in a major car accident. As of now, she is yet in a coma, in Albany Medical Center, with head trauma and broken bones throughout her body. 

Just a few years back, in July 2011, Rachel’s brother, Ben was killed in a motorcycle accident.  Their parents, Pastor Ralph and Maria Siegel, lost their only son in that accident and now their only other child and daughter has been in this terrible accident.  They are trying to hold onto hope and keep faith, but as you can imagine, it is difficult.

Yesterday evening the Siegel’s got word from the doctor that they need to prepare for the fact that, from a medical standpoint, Rachel may never recover.  The news was shattering to her parents.  But, we know that with God all things are possible.  He is still a God who intervenes, who heals, and who responds to the prayers of his people. 

Will you join me in prayer today for Rachel and her family?  Please pray for Rachel’s brain to heal and for her to begin to respond.  And, pray that God would strengthen her parents, filling them with his grace, hope, and peace. 

“With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” (Matthew 19:26 – NIV)

Thanks.

Pastor Tim Harris
