Please Pray!

Added on Sunday: Please click over to Kelly’s blog (link below) to see all updates. She posted pics of the baby today in ICU and an update. The baby is still in critical condition, so please keep praying for this young couple. I don’t know Kelly personally, but she has a huge number of blog friends and I’m just one of many who visits her blog, so please keep this family in your prayers all this week.

I believe in the power of prayer and I just want to ask all of you to please keep Kelly from Kelly’s Korner in your prayers this weekend and especially today. She and her hubby just delivered their first baby (baby girl Harper) on Friday evening, after waiting and going through infertility for awhile. Their baby is sick with pneumonia, had to be flown out to Tulsa to another hospital and is having tests and procedures done right now and they are in need of our prayers. God hears and answers and I do not believe that this beautiful young couple has been given this baby only to have her taken away. We know that God is in control and that HE has the bigger picture in mind. And may He get the glory for everything that happens. I’m believing for a miracle and healing!

Please pray!

    Thank you for stopping by my blog .
    I am so sorry to hear about your friends baby , my youngest daughter was born with early pneumonia as well , poor child’s first day consisted of a spinal tap , thankfully the good nurses noticed she had very low oxygen levels almost right away , I know that is what made for a great outcome, she was on inter, anitbiotics for four days and then released , and has been a very healthy child since .
    So I can attest to a great outcome , I hope that this story will too have a happy ending .
    They are in my thoughts,
    Chris

    Heavenly Father,

    In Jesus Name we lift up baby girl Harper. We speak Your healing virtue over her tiny precious body in the Name of Jesus. We pray for comfort, strength and wisdom for her parents. We pray for wisdom for the doctors who are caring for her but most of all Father we call on You for You alone are GOD and we trust You. We pray for the outcome to bless this family and to bring honor and glory to You. We thank You Father and we ask with heavy hearts filled with faith and appreciation in Jesus Name. Amen! Amen!

    Praise the LORD!

    Rhoda,

    Thank you for stopping over to let me know the update. I had actually went directly to her blog from yours and saw the update and WAS PRAISING THE LORD!

    He’s amazingly wonderful. It’s a privilege that we were not only created by Him but we belong to Him through our precious Lord Jesus Christ. I just couldn’t imagine my life without HIM.

    Blessings upon each one of you.

    Update on Kelly's blog! The baby is doing much better as of earlier today & it looks like they will not have to do the ECMO machine now. That's the last update. You can click the link for more, hopefully she will do a new update on Sunday. But, the news looks really positive now.

    Praise God! thank you for ALL your prayers.
