That is horrible. That poor guy.
Father in Heaven we ask that you be with this family during this tragic time. Confort the young man who hit the little girl and give him you peace. Be with the parents and confort them also. We thank you that they are Christians and know that they will see her again in Heaven. In Jesus precious name we pray Amen

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The 5-year-old daughter of Grammy-winning Christian music
star Steven Curtis Chapman was struck and killed Wednesday by a sport
utility
vehicle driven by her brother, authorities said.
The girl, Maria Sue, was hit in the driveway of the family's home Wednesday
afternoon by a Toyota Land Cruiser driven by her teenage brother, said Laura
McPherson, a spokeswoman for the Tennessee Highway Patrol.
The brother, whose name and exact age weren't available, apparently did not
see the girl, McPherson said. No charges are expected.
"It looks like a tragic accident," she said.
Several family members witnessed the accident, which happened in Williamson
County just south of Nashville. The girl died later at Vander
bilt University
Medical Center in Nashville, hospital spokeswoman Laurie Holloway said.
In a statement, Velvet Kelm, a publicist for Chapman, said Maria was the
Chapmans' youngest daughter.
Chapman, who is originally from Paducah, Ky., and his wife have promoted
international adoption and have three daughters from China, including Maria.
They
also have three biological children.
The singer's Web site says the couple was persuaded by their oldest daughter
to adopt a girl from China. The experience led the family to adopt two more
children and create Shaohannah's Hope, a foundation and ministry to
financially assist thousands of couples in adoption.
The Chapmans did missionary work at Chinese orphanages in 2006 and 2007,
according to the Web site.
"After our first trip to China, my wife and I knew our lives were
changing - our eyes and hearts were opening to how big God really is, and we
have wanted
to experience
more of that," Chapman says on the Web site.
"We've really wondered whether or not we should just go to China and stay
there. But I don't think so. I believe God is saying, 'I want you to go, get
your heart broken, your eyes opened, and then take this story back to the
church in America and around the world.'"
The 45-year-old singer also has released a book about being a father titled
"Cinderella: The Love of Daddy and his Princess." He has won five Grammy
awards
and 54 Dove awards from the Gospel Music Association, according to Kelm.
