Steven Curtis Chapman's youngest daughter, Maria, was killed today in a devastating accident.  She was five years old.  Would you please pray for this family who ministers to thousands of people all over the world?  It appears as though one of her older brothers was driving a vehicle down their lane and didn't see her.  She was life-flighted to a hospital, but died from her injuries.  I cannot even begin to imagine the pain that they are experiencing right now.  Please pray for them, and especially for the brother involved...it breaks my heart to imagine the suffering he must be enduring right now.

Lord, please grant your great grace and peace to the Chapmans!  Only You can provide them with your peace in the midst of their suffering.  Please comfort them all, and especially the brother involved, as it must be excruciating for him right now.  Please protect them from the evil one, surround them with your angels, and draw them ever closer to Yourself in the hours, days, weeks, months...to come.  You know them each intimately, You love them, You created them...  Please be near them now, Lord Jesus.  In Your Name we ask it, Amen.
