Every parents' nightmare

Please pray for Steven Curtis Chapman and his family. Yesterday afternoon his youngest daughter, Maria, was accidentally run over and killed in her family's driveway.

My heart grieves for their family, and for all those who have experienced the loss of a child. It is simply incomprehensible to me.

May God grant their family peace, strength, and the grace to trust Him even through their sorrow, and may Maria rest in the peace of Christ.

Please pray particularly for Maria's older brother (it hasn't been (and shouldn't be!) released which of the two boys it was), who was driving the car.

Thanks for posting this, Ouiz. The Chapmans are a really beautiful family. I graduated from high school with Emily, who is one of the sweetest, most genuine young ladies I've ever known. Emily became engaged this past weekend, and what ought to be a completely joyful, exciting time in her and her family's life gave way to this tragic loss. I know they'll appreciate all the prayers from you and all your readers.
