Urgent Prayer for Cindy Breilh, WOV Director

This morning, Cindy Brielh's mother went home to be with the Lord. Her passing was unexpected. We ask that all join us in a few moments of prayer for our Cindy, our Director, our friend, our confidant, our leader, our sister, our fellow servant to the poor.

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the Name of Jesus. We praise You that this is the day that You have made and we rejoice in Your plan for today.  We thank You that today was the day that Cindy's mom was carried up into your bosom and that she is dancing in Your presence.  We praise You that nothing is a surprise to You and that her home going was part of Your perfect plan for her life.

We are shocked at the suddenness of of her leaving and can only imagine the grief that Cindy and her loved ones are experiencing.  Our comfort is in knowing that You are with them. We praise you that You are comforting Cindy and her family this very second.  That You have sent ministering angels to tend to their needs. 

We thank You that You never grow tired or weary and that Your understanding into these circumstances we cannot fathom.  We thank You that You are giving strength to Cindy in her weariness and increasing her power as she feels weak. We know that her hope is in You, Lord, and that because she hopes in You that You will renew her strength.  We praise You that she will soar on wings like eagles during these days and that she will run as she must during this time of grieving and not grow weary.  We praise You that she will walk and not faint. (Isaiah 40:28-31).

Thank You for giving Cindy freedom to be herself during this time. Give her freedom in You to do what she needs to do and be who she needs to be to process these matters for as long as she must.

We praise You that You will turn her mourning into joy.  Only You, Jesus, can bring joy from mourning; we acknowledge that it is impossible with us.  Our prayer for Cindy is that she will find Your joy, and Your peace that passes all human understanding throughout these painful days. We praise You that You will bless her with sleep in the night and Your guiding Light in the day.

Be her ALL in ALL, Lord as she not only faces her mother's sudden death, but her brother's cancer diagnosis and her son's deployment to Afghanistan in two weeks. We ask that Your healing Hand would be upon her brother and that Your warring and ministering angels will surround her son with a hedge of protection as he goes to war.

These circumstances are beyond what we can bear were it not for Your promise that You will not give more then we can bear. We praise You for the grace that You are pouring down on Cindy and her family during these difficult days.  We are staggered by these circumstances even from afar, yet we trust You and know that Cindy trusts You and hopes in Your unfailing love.

We know not how to pray so we ask You, Jesus, to intercede on Cindy's behalf to the Father.

We cry out in the Name of Jesus. Amen

A Moment of Silence:
Please stop and spend one to five minutes in silence remembering Cindy and her family.
