Urgent Prayer needed...please pray

I am not sure even how to post this request. My Mother's Day was filled with so much laughter and song. Love over flowed my backyard. And then I woke up to an email from my best friend in all the world with news that broke my heart.

Dede's husband Philip is my husband's best friend. They share the same Pastor's heart . No one on earth walks in compassion like Philip does. So when he went to work this morning, You just know God ordained him to work there for a time such as this. Please pray for Philip as the Lord uses him to minister to his boss. Pray that his heart and words glorify the Lord and penetrate the tremendous devastation this family is feeling today. And pray for the Wheeler family. I know no kinder pastoral heart than his and he will need God's strength and words to touch this family. I do not know if any of them are believers. Thank you so very very much.

Only Jesus knows why......

This is the email I received from Dede.....

Philip called me this morning soon after he got to work and asked for prayer for his immediate boss. Apparently he has a younger sister, about Cori's age, who is a single mom who decided to hang herself yesterday. I don't know any details other than she had 2 small children and she decided to drive out here to Falcon and go into her folks workshop and hang herself. Her parents found her yesterday afternoon. A very sad mother's day for many. Please pray for the Wheeler family as they make arrangements and decide the future home for the children and for God's healing in many devasted hearts this day. D

So sorry to hear about this. The family will need a lot of support and prayer. So much self-blaming. So terrible and so sad. My heart and prayers go out to them.
