Please Pray for Daisy Merrick

Written by Chris Poblete on July 13, 2010 in Prayer - 1 Comment

A couple months ago, we celebrated the remission of 6-year-old Daisy Merrick’s cancer.

I read her dad’s twitter updates last night and received a couple of emails from our friends at Reality Carpinteria this morning, asking us to pray for Daisy. Her cancer is back.

Her father, Pastor Britt Merrick of SoCal church Reality Carpinteria, posted this morning on Daisy’s blog:

Thank you for all your prayers, comments and tweets. We found out last night that my daughter’s (Daisy-6) cancer is back. The tumor is huge. It is in her abdomen, the size of a grapefruit and inoperable at this point.

About 15 pastor/elders from Reality just laid hands on Daisy and prayed for healing. The tumor will be biopsied this afternoon.

We are devastated, but trusting Jesus.

…

Daisy’s biopsy will be tomorrow at 8:30am PST. Please pray the tumor is gone or benign. God is able!

Would you pray with us?
