Say A Little Prayer

Last night the life of a close friend took a nightmarish turn. Adam is one of the kindest, most sincere people you will ever meet. He has always lived a life guided by the teachings of God and has turned into the kind of man that others look at when searching for a Christian role model. Recently Adam married a girl, which according to Lucy, must have been created especially for him. His perfect match. What should have been a year filled with love, laughter, and the glory that comes from starting a new life as husband and wife, has turned into something nobody should ever have to go through.

Adam’s wife, Amy, was abducted yesterday in Birmingham. She was visiting her sister and leaving her apartment. The man forced her at gunpoint into her car. They came upon an intersection and he asked her how to get to a remote wooded location. She had the presence of mind to tell him to go left; he had to turn to go this way. When he turned his head to look, she jumped out of the car. As she was running away from the vehicle, he shot her. She has lost a kidney and her spleen. Lucy called the bank where Adam is working now in and got an update this morning. She is on a ventilator and is in intensive care; they are worried that infection may set in. They are keeping her in intensive care for at least 2 - 3 days. She is at UAB hospital.

Please, even if you’re not a religious person by practice…please pray for our friend. God listens to prayers. If he can hear my prayer, and your prayer…imagine the sound that a thousand prayers will make. He may not always give us what we ask for, but that is simply because we do not always know what is best. What he will do is cover Amy with his love and help like only he can.
