I don't believe I've ever publicly posted a prayer request here. A few things have come up over the years, but I just took them to a few members I'm closest with. I guess it's uncomfortable for me to throw something out to the entire community, I don't know. But right now something is going on that urgently needs as many prayers as possible, so I figured it was a good time to be the first time.

Details won't be provided, but there was an extremely serious family emergency over the weekend and it remains an ongoing situation.

I'm so glad that I noticed this today! I will definitely be praying, bookworm, for your whole family. I totally get not wanting to share too many details online.

Unspoken prayer requests FTW!!!

I saw this the other day but didn't comment... but know that you and your family are in my prayers.

The situation has become even more serious.

I will continue to pray for you bookworm.

The situation has resolved. (By death.)

^I am so, so sorry to hear that. Just know, friend, we have been praying for you. God is there. He hears our prayers. He knows life, love, and all their mysteries. He knows your future; He knows your history. And He'll always be there, to listen and care. With Jesus in your heart, just know that God lives there.

I'm so sorry to hear that Bookworm. =( Your family have been and will be in my prayers.

I'm sorry, too I know there's not much we can say to make you feel better, but know I care and am still praying for you and your family.
