Praying for a Brother and Sister in Christ

Today, I found out that a colleague and mentor of mine lost a baby that was on the way. Here's what Jason posted on his blog:

Late yesterday afternoon Rachael and I went to the doctor after Rachael had some mild concerns that she wasn't sure she had felt the baby move recently. While going into appointment we weren't real concerned (we were going more out of precaution), our worst fears would soon be realized. After an ultrasound was performed, we were told that for unknown reasons our baby daughter (Aleigha Grace) had died in the womb. Obviously, we were & are devastated. Unfortunately, the hardest part is yet to come. Rachael will have to still go through labor. Tomorrow morning at 6 a.m. she is scheduled to be induced. Obviously, we would greatly value your prayers for today, tomorrow and the days to come. The promise the Lord has given me to hold onto during this difficult time for us is that "we do not mourn like those who have no hope." Praise the Lord!
I am praying for peace and understanding for Jason and Rachael in this time. May God qwell the humanly desire to ask, "Why?" May His providence reign true and may He show this family peace and grace.

Pray for the Thompsons.
Pray for Jason.
Pray for Rachael.
Pray for Haley.

Just Pray.

I will be praying. That is the second baby that I found out a couple has lost. I found out last night a friend of mine lost her baby as well. May God be with both couples and families as they go through this trying time. May God bless you all in this time of need.
