Day 76: Ember Faith Prayer Countdown

For tonight and this weekend, we have been blessed with the opportunity to attend Conclave 2013, a training event for youth leaders, where Kristian Stanfill is leading worship. Tonight, he led us in singing the song "In Christ Alone." During the 4th verse, I (Shane) felt impressed to lay my hand upon Ember's "temporary home" and pray and sing those lyrics over her. In some ways these words echoed our first prayer for God's will in Ember's life, reminding me that in all areas of her life, God will be and already is in complete control. So from birth to death, this is and always will be our prayer for our sweet little baby girl.

I Christ Alone: Original 4th Verse Lyrics 

No guilt in life, no fear in death

This is the power of Christ in me

From life's first cry to final breath

Jesus commands my destiny

No power of hell, no scheme of man

Could ever pluck me from His hand

Til He returns or calls me home

Here in the power of Christ I stand

Our Prayer Over Ember

No guilt in life, no fear in death

This is the power of Christ that we pray would be in Ember

From life's first cry to final breath

Jesus, command her destiny

No power of hell, no scheme of man 

Could ever pluck her from Your hand

Til You return or call her home

In the power of Christ may she stand
