First, I would like to thank the Lord for his abundant blessings this weekend throughout our several trials. We were camping at the lake and my brother burned his hand severely in the camp fire. Prayers were answered almost immediately that he was able to make it to medical help and that we were able to manage packing up camp and rushing to meet him. God granted us kind people to help, a wonderful doctor that prayed over his injury and fought for a spot for him at another hospital, and consequently he was able to keep all of his fingers.

Prayer need: Emotional and physical healing (burn is very susceptible to infection) for my brother. The pain from a burn is as intense as it is the moment it happens for 72 hours. He recently lost two of his best friends who were brothers and has started a new job, so he is incredibly overwhelmed emotionally. I pray that this trial is just what he needs to bring him closer to the Lord!! Please pray that he is able to see God's plan for him and why he is being pruned. Also, strength and endurance for entire family.
