Please pray for my friend's son

Jeff Sorvik and I have been friends for a long time. He is a fellow church planter and pastor in the Duluth area where he pastors a really cool church plant up there calledAnchor Point Church. He really needs our prayers right now as his 17 year old son, Josh Sorvik, was in a skiing accident this past weekend. He has a severed spinal cord and it looks like the is going to be paralyzed from the waist down. Please pray that God will heal his spine - and that he will walk again! He is only a senior in high school. As a parent of boys, and one who is 17 (David), my heart breaks and cries out to God on behalf of Josh and the Sorvik family.

1 Praise the Lord, O my soul;
all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
2 Praise the Lord, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits—
3 who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,
4 who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,
5 who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

As a father of two - and one who experienced a very scary accident, only breaking my back - my heart cries out to God on their behalf. Our God is the God of miracles. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.

You and me both, brother. I am deeply thankful and humbled by the grace extened to all of us, no matter what He has chosen to allow into our lives.
