09:34 AM. Special Prayer Request – Karson Pender
Karson Pender is a student at Cottonwood
❤️SPECIFIC PRAYER REQUEST❤️
Could everyone stop what they’re doing for just two seconds and pray specifically for Karson’s will and strength again?
He’s really struggling right now with wanting to stop treatments. He’s said he would rather live a normal life now than worry about what happens if he stops. As we all know, stopping treatment just isn’t an option, but that doesn’t make it any easier for him to understand or accept.
These moments make daily life, and especially our trips to Birmingham, very challenging… for both me and our wonderful team there who care for him so deeply.
Please lift him up in prayer, that he finds the strength, courage, and peace to keep fighting. We love you all and are so grateful for every single prayer and ounce of support you continue to send! ❤️
