Petitionary Prayer: April 29
This is the last of the Petitionary Prayer posts because April is coming to an end.

The stress he is under as an anesthesiologist. The balance of resting in God’s sovereignty when a person has lost their life in surgery… He begins to think heavily about that person… their family, the loss, their pain, was that person a believer?

- Update 3: Candy is in the area experiencing all the earthquakes. I imagine is quite disconcerting to be experiencing such an unusual natural phenomenom.
We have been having swarms of earthquakes in our area, and they are getting worse. We have had some register approximately 3.1 or so and now last night one registered 4.7. We are in a high seismic area but this is very unusual.

for a family that lost there mother this week. She drowned in the bathtub while she was having a seizure. No one was home at the time. Her children attend my children’s small Christian school. It is a university-model school in which the children go to school 2 times a week and then the mother homeschools them with the material they learned at the school on the other 3 days. This tragedy happened on a homeschool day… the next day was to be a school day. Instead, the family attended her memorial service this morning. There are 2 children, a kindergartener and a 1st grader. They are an incredible Christian family. Please pray for them.
