A prayer request came in a few minutes ago for a family in NY who lost two sons and their home in a fire with an infant daughter in an ICU in Boston. It is unimaginable to me that there could be any comfort in this situation but the parents are in Your Hands. Sit beside them, Lord, send Your messengers to console them in their grief
