This is Kathleen Dillard, Wayne's wife, writing to you today with some unexpected news. Last night, April 3rd at 7 PM Wayne had, what we believe to be, heart failure.
The day before Easter, he went into the arms of THE Resurrection Himself. It was a sunny day in Colorado and Wayne was busy and happy doing the things he loved.
As for myself and our two college age daughters, Julia and Jessica, we are in shock. Our hearts are both heavy and hopeful. Your prayers are a great help to us right now.
As for Prayercentral, we feel Wayne was "in the middle" of so many God appointed projects, that I will take the baton forward where Wayne left off last night.
Which means, you will hear more from us at Prayercentral.

Take Courage
Scripture: The following night the Lord stood near Paul and said, “Take courage”! -Acts 23:11
A Note from Kathleen Dillard:
Thank You, for your prayers as we walk forward in this unexpected season of grief. Your prayers are a cushion of grace. A senior leader and pastor called us recently and said, "Wayne's life has been sown into the ground in righteousness and we will see a great harvest," our hearts feel hope rising.
Thank you for your partnership with us at Prayercentral. Let's continue to shape history on our knees.
In His Care,
Kathleen

Father God, I lift the precious family of Wayne up before You. Please give them comfort and peace at this hour of need. Help them as they continue on with the special prayer ministry, bless all of their efforts for You. Amen
Jesus, You are the Lord almighty. There is no darkness that is dark to You, and no difficulty that is beyond Your reach. You are present in every moment of our lives and nothing escapes Your notice.
I lift up Kathleen, Julia and Jessica to You today Lord, and ask You to surround them with Your peace. There are anxious thoughts lurking about and they need Your help. Just as You brought comfort to Paul, I ask, Lord that You would whisper to Kathleen, Julia and Jessica, “Take courage! Take courage! I am with you, Take courage!”
Let Your voice drown out the fearful thoughts that reach out from the dark. Give them the grace Lord to draw near to You today, and enter into Your presence where fear and anxiety disappear and hope and strength abound.

Father, I am stunned, but You knew the days of this precious son of Yours. All I keep thinking is what a Holy time You called him to come home. Oh my Father, the celebration that he must have been experiencing as he came face to face with our Risen Lord this Holy Day...
Father, I lift up his family. This wife, and daughters. Father, I pray for comfort during this time of sorrow, loss and mourning. Grant them strength to keep on looking to the Kingdom of God and to rest in Your arms during these next few weeks as they walk in this shock of sudden loss.
amen amen amen
Dear God, I can do ALL things through CHRIST who strengthens me. Thank you, Jesus, for your strength and protection. Thank you God, for my Savior. Whenever that old devil comes at me with temptations, I will remind him that I can do all things who Christ who strengthens me and has saved me. Because of that, I can rebuke Satan through standing upon Scripture and leaning on you for my help. Jesus was the perfect example of this as he countered Satan's temptations with Scripture. May I open my eyes, ears, and heart to your word and your prompting. With thanks in my soul I pray, in the name of Jesus. Amen.
