Father God,

We ask you for the following prayers for our daughter, Anna Grace. The little girl who is half a world away, yet wonderfully made by You, for us. Lord, we lift her up to You and with full trust know that no one could ever love her like You do. As we pray for her needs Lord, we thank you for once again, allowing us the honor to raise one of your children in your name. We thank you for the blessings that you have already showered upon us and continue to do. We love and worship you, Lord.

As always, we pray this and all things, in the name of your precious son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Amen.

PRAYER REQUESTS

May her parents be filled with the knowledge that their beautiful daughter will be eternally loved. And may their hearts be soaked in the mysterious peace that surpasses all understanding and can only come from our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

And lastly, thank you all for lifting up our precious daughter to the Heavens. We know that she is loved and cared for by our Lord, His Blessed Mother, and all of the angels and saints who will rejoice with us when she is finally in our arms. God bless you!

"What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. - James 2:14-17
