True prayer from the heart is very powerful; it arouses the heart of God. Many prayers are going out concerning Luke's love ones and God is the God of all love and comfort. Here's a quote from Charles Spurgeon which reads “Go forth today, by the help of God’s Spirit, vowing and declaring that in life – come poverty, come wealth, in death – come pain or come what may, you are and ever must be the Lord’s. For this is written on your heart, ‘We love Him because He first loved us.’” ~ Charles Spurgeon
There is love, comfort and strength in Christ Jesus. Luke is in the loving arms of the Lord even as he leaves the gift of life for others!
