There are things I know about my friends, whether deep, personal, long time friends, or people I have met at shows and continue to communicate with via social media or those of you whom I have never met in person but communicate with on Twitter, this blog, Facebook or good old-fashioned email. Here is what I know:
1. Some of you who have great influence. You have a platform that connects you with many people.
2. Some of you who have been greatly blessed financially and you are looking for ways to use it to bless others.
3. Some of you who have a blazing fire of a prayer life. You actually believe what the bible says about prayer and you scorch the world around you with your faith filled intercession.
4. You are fighters, pursuers, chasers, builders, protectors, champion-ers, supporters, defenders, sustainers, upholders, and givers.
You fit into one of these descriptions and so I am asking you to serve a family in need. You might know of a church called Reality Church in California and it’s pastor, Britt Merrick. You might not. I have been listening to his podcasts for years and have been following his family’s 3 year battle with their daughter, Daisy’s cancer. She is only 8. Go to her website www.prayfordaisy.com where you can learn about her story and help. Give what you have an abundance of:
-influence, helping to spread the word and draw more people to give from their own abundances.
-money, helping give towards her half a million dollar treatments that are not covered by her insurance.
-prayer, helping cover this family in prayer, especially in these specific areas that they posted on Daisy’s Blog:
1. Pray for the complete healing of Daisy Love Merrick
2. Pray for strength and encouragement for her brother, Isaiah
3. Pray for wisdom and grace for her parents, Britt and Kate
4. Pray for Christ to be their greatest treasure
So, contribute to hope. Band together with all of the others out there who are done thinking only about themselves and help Daisy.

Please consider praying and contributing to this precious sweet little girl.

exactly! It’s good to reach out and imagine ourselves in the perspective of others trials and tribulations then take a step out a just do it. Sometimes I’ll be driving down the street and see a street called Daisy, or something with her name on it and the Lord reminds me to pray without ceasing. There’s so much more to do as well. Share, contribute, ask, plead, asking God to keep her in our minds, and touch our hearts for Daisy as if she was our own sweet pea. I have a little boy that is eight years old and has her smile. My prayer is that Daisy’s name will spread like wild fire across the christian community and beyond and that the Lord will put it on people’s hearts to remember to pray and contribute. lord we ask in JESUS name. Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it. Prov.
