Pray for Kate

Somewhere out there is Kate. She's a little girl of six, battling brain cancer. I stumbled upon her story online and it touched me. Her parents had set up a website asking for prayers for their angel.

Kate's mom has also faithfully blogged about her daughter's progress since they discovered the cancer on June, 2009. Several people are following her posts including Christian author Karen Kingsbury who is well-known for her "Forever in Fiction" program. Karen promised to etch Kate in fiction forever by making her a character in her upcoming novel.

As much as I would like to give and help, I have but prayers for Kate. Even as I write this, however, I am rebuked because I know that prayers are far more valuable than anything I can offer. So, as I listen to the background music playing in Kate's website, I say, "Amen," because truly "God is here...the Lord is here" and He is not blind and deaf to Kate's trials.

Perhaps you also want to pray with me? You can learn more about her through this link.

"But now, this is what the LORD says—

he who created you, O Jacob,

he who formed you, O Israel:

'Fear not, for I have redeemed you;

I have summoned you by name; you are mine.

When you pass through the waters,

I will be with you;

and when you pass through the rivers,

they will not sweep over you.

When you walk through the fire,

you will not be burned;

the flames will not set you ablaze.'"

-Isaiah 43:1-2
