Ron Cooper Is With The Lord

From Cindy Breilh, Director of Women of Vision, January 29, 2011

"Ron Cooper went to be with the Lord on Friday evening. Kathy was able to release him to Jesus and was with him until the end. Thank you all for the prayers. With hardly time to grieve, Kathy asks that we continue to pray as she is already fighting to keep Ron’s young daughter who they literally rescued from the streets. She asks that we “bombard” heaven on Rissas behalf!

Kathy will be taking off all of next week and we will try our best to take care of any urgent tasks. Monday she will be at court petitioning for the welfare of her step daughter – I’ve let her know we will all pray. She said to “spread the word!” and pray that the court will find favor with the petition – one that even our Child Protection department affirms.

I will post the date and location of Ron’s service when we know something and will send a remembrance on the behalf of Women of Vision. Thank you for the kind words – Kathy will be blessed."

Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the Name of Jesus with saddened hearts. We are grateful that Ron no longer suffers and that he is perfect in every way rejoicing with You in Heaven. We know that Kathy shares our belief and yet, she grieves the loss of her husband. We know that she needs comfort that only You can give to her. We lift her before your throne and ask that You would be her comfort and strength.  To lose the love of your life, your best friend on earth brings sorrow in the core of her being so we ask for your compassion, mercy and grace to fall upon her and cloak her with strength as she faces life alone.  Guide her as she steps into this new way of living.  Surround her with love and kindness from friends and family and give her favor as she presses on in the day-in-day-out of life. Embrace her with your peace.

Thank you for this young daughter, Rissas.  Lord what dire circumstances have befallen this child prior to her father's death. The devastation that she is feeling is beyond words as she is rescued from the streets by her father and then he is taken from her. Lord You have a plan for this young one for good and not for calamity and we ask that Your perfect plan unfold for her.  Heal her twice broken heart and make her new in You, Jesus.  We ask that the enemy of her soul be bound away from her and that You would send angels to protect her from any more overwhelming circumstances. Lord let the judge rule in favor of Kathy having full custody of Rissas. We praise You that there will be no complications or delays and that it will be done expeditioulsy and in a  timely manner without undue costs. Bless this young daughter with your favor. If she does not know You as her Savior, we pray for her salvation.  If she does know You, we pray that the loss of her earthly father will draw her closer to her Heavenly Father in whom she will find her hope.

Lord, where would we be without your unfailing, never ending, unconditional love? Thank you for your faithfulness. Thank you that nothing is impossible or too great for You. Thank you that You care for us and hear our prayers. We humbly speak these petitions on behalf of our sister and friend Kathy and her "daughter" who are at this moment  in need of your touch. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
