Thanks for Another Wonderful Prayer Service

Many thanks to all who joined us for the prayer service this past Sunday in person or in spirit – we have no doubts about the power of this collective prayer effort. Chase reminds us every day – starting with the fact that he’s still with us and we’re now going on 16 months. He’s slowly building momentum with his breathing improvements, as we can measure the amount of pressure support that he needs and the amount of time that he can tolerate lower settings. The overall trend in undeniable and very encouraging.

We’re continuing to pray that Chase will soon be able to open his eyes and respond directly to us – that would just be the most amazing Christmas present we could ever ask for. Please join us in this intention and in gratefully thanking God for hearing and responding to all of our prayers. We believe in making our prayer as specific as possible and this is the next step that we’re focused on for Chase’s recovery. In fact, it wouldn’t hurt to extend this even further and imagine the upcoming headlines of Chase’s blog updates (Chase responds and reawakens, Chase regains movement of his arms, Chase takes his first steps after recovery, etc.).

We hope all of Chase’s Prayer Warriors are preparing for a wonderful holiday season. This time of year is particularly difficult here, as we reflect on the past year – we were just looking through pictures of Chase during his last soccer season, swimming, etc. We long to see those days again – with the help of your prayers, we truly believe it’s just a matter of time, once again. Thanks for all your help and support!

God Bless!!
