Pray for Samuel

I have been struck lately by the reality of disease in this world, particularly in children. In the past few years, I have heard far too many stories of childhood cancer, babies being born premature or not even having the chance to fight. Babies who only know life inside the womb.

I just read this story about a sweet boy named Samuel. Please read it and pray. It moved me to tears, just feeling the desperation in the words of this father.

It makes me wonder. Why is this so common? The spiritual warfare in this world is sometimes too overbearing. But God is always sovereign. He is always good. No matter what. And He calls us to pray. Let's fall on our knees for all these children and battle with the best weapon we have.
