There are no words to describe what they are going through. I just want to cry out to God—-why did You let this happen? What good could possibly come of it for anyone? I guess there’s only one thing to do—–the one thing that God demands of us, and in the light of tragedies like this one, the hardest thing to do sometimes——blindly trust in the God of Love and believe His promise to “work all things for our good”. I know it’s an overused (I think?) trite phrase Christians use when they don’t know what to say or think, but I believe it is true. And I think someday when we’re looking back on this life from a more “heavenly” prospective, we’ll see that we were looking at things from a shortsighted, clouded view. I trust God will comfort the family and bring them through this valley.

But, it’s still sadder than sad. My heart aches for that sweet family and I’m praying for them.

My heart hurts for the entire Chapman family.
I know they are so close, and the pain they have to work through is among the worst that anyone can imagine.

I’ve been praying for them all ever since I heard of the tragic events last week.

Thanks for sharing this so that others can join their own voices to those already raising petitions to Heaven for comfort and peace for the family.

I have prayed so hard for them. I cannot begin to imagine the pain and guilt that poor boy must be going through! Thank goodness God is able to carry this family through this horrific time.

My heart breaks for the mother and dad, but especially for the brother. They all are in my prayers.

My heart goes out to the Chapman family but especially to the son. “He (Jesus)won’t put on us more than we can handle”… How much is a teenage brother supposed to be able to handle…

I just pray that the family stays true to their faith until they can get through the pain and wait on the message of why their little angel was taken so tragically.

The only way to understand or process this tragic tragic news is to know that down the road the message will become apparent to the Chapman’s or to someone… perhaps this little girl was to get really really sick or something prolonging that no one would want to see a child endure… When something like this happens you have to just turn it over and sit and wait for the answers, perhaps not in our life time but there is a reason/message.

For now just give your kids a hug and tell your loved ones over and over and over again how much you love them, because this is just a dress rehearsal and before you know it it can be gone. Life is short! When we reach our journeys end and in God’s eyes we are complete and our purpose has been served He takes us home. That little girl served her purpose in her short little life…. she was a messenger to someone or for something and her job here on earth was completed.

Tori may your family fest “get-away” be more special this time, perhaps magical and more spiritual than ever before. God Bless!

I cannot imagine what they are all going through but I know the love and support is there for them everywhere they turn. You listen to somebody’s music like we have Steven Curtis Chapman for years, you read about this precious family. We have met both Steven and Mary Beth, what sweet people. I agree with you, they are the kind of people that give being a Christian a good name. I don’t understand why this happened. All I know is they are in my prayers and will continue to be.
