My prayer:
Gracious Father in heaven, please be with this young lady who has just lost her husband and nearly lost her life in this horrible crash. Heal her body and lend her your strength to continue through the challenges ahead. Grant wisdom to her doctors in treating her wounds and compassion to her family and friends in helping her to deal with her grief. Lord, please be with their young child who must now face life without his earthly father. Help his mother to know when she will be able to fill that void in his life and grant her the wisdom to seek the right help when she can not fill it. Father, above all, grant that this young widow and orphan will learn the peace that comes from following you.
