Lord, today we pray for the widow and two children
left behind by Joseph Blankson, who
drowned after singlehandedly pulling 13 people from a river after their boat
capsized. First, Lord, we are so thankful for the example set by Blankson. We
are grateful he used his strong swimming skills to rescue those in danger. We
rejoice that there were no fatalities outside of Blankson’s. We pray for the
survivors, that they would cherish life and reflect that through how they live.
We are devastated for Blankson’s widow and children. Please be very present
with them in their grieving. May their loved ones come alongside them to not
only grieve with them, but to provide companionship and mentorship to these
young children in their father’s absence. We also pray very specifically that
Mercy, Blankson’s wife, will be able to find a job that will provide for her
family. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
