At its peak the balloon reached 10,000 feet and then it started it&#8217;s descent. At the time it was unclear whether the boy was still in the ballooncraft and as of an hour ago it has landed but the boy is missing. This prayer is for Falcon Heene and his family and friends.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>Heavenly Father, <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>As the search begins for 6-year-old Falcon Heene I pray for his safe return to his parents. It is my prayer that wherever he is right now you would comfort him and allow&nbsp;him to fear not for you are near.&nbsp;Send angels to protect Falcon and keep him safe until he is found. Speak to him and let him know that help is on the way. And as the &#8220;help&#8221; is on their way, give them knowledge, wisdom, and discernment to find him quickly. Comfort Falcon&#8217;s family and friends in the midst of this time of uncertainty.&nbsp;Help them to be optimistic, patient,&nbsp;and stay encouraged to see what the end&nbsp;is going to be. May every person that will, within their radius, do all they can to not only comfort this family in their time of need, but respond to this call to action to help search for this missing child. May all hearts pray and may all minds send positive thoughts and love to this family.
