I would appreciate your prayers

Posted on 12/04/2004 7:59:51 AM PST by Smedley

My wife is pregnant with twin boys. Yesterday, she went into pre-mature labor. The twins are ony 22 weeks along, and if they deliver in the next two weeks they wont survive. The doctors are doing everything they can to stop the delivery, but the prognosis isn't promising.

I would appreciate your prayers for our unborn children, my wife and for strength of character should the worst happen.

Thanks

Thank y'all for the pings.

Dear Heavenly Father, we know these precious twins are your creation.
We ask for your protection and care for these tiny babies.
Whenever you decide to bring them forth into this world, dear Lord, we ask that you give them the strength to suvive and thrive so that they may serve you all the days of their lives.

We also ask for your love and comfort for these parents that they might know thy power.

In Jesus name we pray,
Amen

Dearest People,

Thank you for your prayers and emotional support. Unfortunately, after four days of touch and go, the twins were delivered at less than 23 weeks. While they survived but a few hours, I nonetheless thank God for the blessing of that short time.

My wife endured immense pain and discomfort, as well as emotional ups and downs, for four days. She put in an effort that can be described only as heroic and selfless. This day she is my hero.

Again, thank you all, and if I can't find the effort to thank each and every one of you right now, please understand that it isn't for lack of my appreciation.

Bud

Thank you for the ping, BG.

Bud, I know there are no words to make you feel better right now, but I'm very sorry about the babies.

I pray that the Good Lord will provide you and your wife the peace and comfort you need.

God has two more little angels to help pour out the rain.

Oh, friend, my heart grieves with you and your wife as I read and reread your post. My Prayers will continue for our God's Comfort and Solace to Abide with you both.

Our Master in Heaven, only our Beloved One can Bring the Peace and Comfort these dear people need, so we Lift them in Prayer to You now, our Strong and Loving God. They need You, my King, to Wrap Your Arms of Compassion around them, and to Speak Peace to their grieving souls, Assuring them that their children are Eternally Safe with Thee. Most Gracious Lord, Send Thy Consoling Spirit to be their Constant Companion in the days ahead, and Impart Thine Own Strength to them to Enable them to bear the pain weighing heavily upon their hearts.

O Lord, You Whose Heart Deeply Loves Your children, Undergird these suffering dear ones with Power from on High, and we will Give You Praise for All You will Do, to the Glory of our King, in Whose Name we Pray, amen.
