We're still praying and doing spiritual battle for our friend Chad. Yesterday Kevin sent around a Psalm he and Chad talked about when he saw him, before he was unconscious - that we should pray it for him. I did. Then, last night as I was in bed, I opened my prayer book to pray the evening office. What was the first Psalm I prayed on that page? - the same Psalm - 27. I just outright took it as prophetic. I offered up my prayer for Chad. I would ask you do to the same. If you pray the liturgy of the hours, I have said at the beginning, "O God, come to Chad's assistance, O Lord make haste to help Chad." We will not give up this fight. This enemy will be defeated.
