Meg's Prayer

(Al Roker Today Show)
When Meg was diagnosed with her first brain tumor in August 2006, the community came together and prayed for Meg. One of Meg's closest friends wrote "Pray for Meg" on her back windshield. In no time, where ever you looked there were" Pray for Meg" signs. Yard signs, painted car windows and banners on buildings all simply worded "Pray for Meg". What no one knew was that while the community was so publicly in prayer for Meg, she was privately praying for all of us.
Meg accomplished much in her short life, but in the "about me" section of her Facebook page, she did not say anything about herself or her accomplishments. She did not mention that she was a 4.0 student, a University of Alabama cheerleader, that she was accepted into the honors program and began classes at UA as a senior in high school or any of her other many accomplishments.
This is all she wrote:
Father,
I ask You to bless my friends, relatives and those that I care deeply for, who are reading this right now. Show them a new revelation of Your love and power. Holy Spirit, I ask You to minister to their spirit at this very moment. Where there is pain, give them Your peace and mercy. Where there is self-doubt, release a renewed confidence through Your grace. Where there is need, I ask you to fulfill their needs. Bless their homes and their families.
In your name, Amen.
