Ian was in a terrible car accident exactly one year ago. The Lord graciously and miraculously spared his life, after medical professionals were certain hope was gone. Ian is still working arduously to recover, but remains very ill.
Ian's family has been loving him, supporting him, and caring for him along this journey. They passionately believe in God's abounding, steadfast love. Because of their love for Christ, they are able to care selflessly for Ian day after day. They are faithfully preaching the gospel to the world as they live this trial with Ian - loving their Savior ever more - trusting Him.
And then there's, Larissa - Ian's beautiful girlfriend. On a personal note, Larissa amazes me. She has remained so genuinely in love with Jesus and with Ian throughout this difficult trial. This post from Larissa will give you great insight into who God has created her to be:
"The struggles of this affliction are pale compared to the glories of the cross. It is the simple yet profound truth of the gospel that gives myself, the Murphys and Ian strength each morning. When we get to heaven, Jesus himself will wipe away every tear from our eyes. Ian will one day be completely healed. His soul is entrusted to Christ. When we focus on that truth, there is no room for fear." - Larissa
Please visit this blog: http://www.prayforian.com/ and pray for Ian Murphy, the Murphy family, and Larissa. Pray for Ian's complete healing. Pray for a fresh hope, joy, and strength to be delivered to them all today. Pray that the Lord would work in these circumstances to advance the gospel.
"Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful." Hebrews 10:23
