A VOM-supported Christian woman died earlier this month from complications due to poisoning.
After several days, she was struggling to walk and in great pain. Her family knew she was ill, and her father sent a message to her saying she would not survive. After a month in the hospital, she succumbed to the illness and died. Doctors found damage to her internal organs from poison, which her family likely administered to her while she still lived at home.
Anna is survived by two children, ages 6 and 12, who are being cared for by the pastor. “It is a very sad moment for us losing Anna,” the pastor said. “It is very sad for the children as well. Please pray for her children.”

- Ask the Lord to comfort these two children. Pray He will walk closely beside them as they come to terms with this tragic loss. Thank God for the pastor’s willingness to care for them.
- Pray these children will come to know and understand the love their mother had for the Lord and desire to know Him for themselves.
- Pray the death of Anna will not be in vain, but the Lord will use it as a seed for the Gospel for the sake of many, including her family.

Father, thank you that you have promised to redeem all things to yourself, for your own purposes. Please make Anna’s death a catalyst for family revival. Let her death not be in vain, that her children may know you through Jesus, and in his name. Amen.
Amen and Amen! Have mercy Lord and bless the family with Salvation through Christ!
Father God, we know You love Anna as you love all your children.
Please Father, make her sacrifice and suffering bring glory to your name, so people who have witnessed it or heard of it wonder at the depth of faith, courage and love she had from you and for you. May her children be safe and grow up knowing You, and serving your purpose. In Jesus name, Amen.
O Father in Heaven, again, Amen and Amen. Enrich the lives of all concerned by the work of your Holy Spirit opening the eyes of Anna’s killers and strengthening the faith of Anna’s children and Church and Pastor.
Lord when someone who is your child dies, they go to be with you, We thank you Anna is with you and free from all pain suffering, sin and harm that came her way. Her children though Lord are left with much pain and heartache as a result of her death. They need your comfort, your strength, peace and hope to get them through.
May those who did this to Anna find forgiveness and redemption in your before its too late. May they see what they have done is sinful and come to you in deep humility and repentance. Thank you the pastor is willing to take these children in. may this be used by you to help these children come to know you.
In your precious name we pray.
Lord Jesus, your coming into the world would bring division and conflict and sadly we see this in families. You said (as recorded in Luke 12:49-53) 49 “I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! 50 But I have a baptism to undergo, and what constraint I am under until it is completed! 51 Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. 52 From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. 53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”. We grieve for Anna but rejoice she in in your presence. Bless her children and help them to grow in prayerful and conscious forgiveness of those who poisoned their mother and in your time give them grace to bring the Gospel to their unbelieving family. Have mercy O Lord, have mercy!
Father of all comfort, comfort the children, the pastor and the brethren.
keep they faith in you alone to hope to see sister Ann in your glory.
