A Prayer for Another Tiny Baby
Brad's Gramma | 2-20-04 | Myself

Posted on 02/20/2004 4:48:12 PM PST by Brad’s Gramma

Well everyone, I'm back with an urgent prayer request for yet another tiny baby. I don't know what the outcome of this will be, our Lord knows, and only He can handle this situation.

My niece Ann and her husband Mike were married this past September and became pregnant on their honeymoon. They found out last Tuesday during a doctor's check-up that something was not right with the pregnancy. She went in the next day for an ultra sound and found out the baby is severely physically handicapped. He has a disease that will not enable him to live out of the womb.

The doctors gave them the choice to abort the pregnancy, but they could NOT do it. Ann said she could NOT stop a beating heart.

Ann and Mike named their precious baby Matthew Paul. He's almost 23 weeks "old". The little guy is moving around in the womb, his Mommy can feel him. She may or may not be able to carry this pregnancy to term...this is all in the Lord's hand.

The bottom line here is one of three things....Matthew will NOT make it to term, or he WILL make it to term but still not live, OR our God will heal him in the womb. We've all heard of cases where the doctors HAVE BEEN WRONG, urging an unnecessary abortion. I don't have an answer ... none of us do. I DO KNOW that God is an AWESOME GOD and is able to use this baby and his parents in a mighty way.

My friends, we prayed for another baby and look how that turned out. I beg you to pray for Ann, Mike and Matthew.

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you again, on our knees begging you to heal a baby whose chances are mighty slim. Lord, we KNOW that You're the Great Physician and can heal whomever You wish. We also know, and acknowledge, that Your "yes" is not always OUR "yes". Please Lord, give Ann and Mike the spiritual, physical and emotional strength to go through with the remainder of this pregnancy. Lord, please give every health care provider YOUR wisdom. Please let Your words be their words. Please let Your decisions be theirs. And Lord, if it's Your will that Matthew not spend time with his parents here on earth, we thank you for that, too. We know that he will see YOUR face, he'll stand before YOUR throne, and for that we thank you. In Jesus' Holy Name, Amen.

Heavenly Father, we return to give You thanks that Your divine hand holds the life of Matthew Paul. You have known him from the foundation of the world ... You know his length of days and his purposes in the lives of his beloved Mom and Dad. May it be, Merciful Father, that he will be brought forth to Ann and Mike as a son who will be nurtured by them through infancy and childhood and adulthood ... that he will be one to confound the Doctors from the moment of his birth. Surround this young family with the Power and Beauty of Your Presence, for You are Creator and Sustainer. In the Name of Jesus, I pray, Amen ...

STOP BG!

If the child in the womb is so deformed chances are he/she won't revive.

Secondly the Drs. always give the worst case scenerio.

We will pray.

Let God allow this Mother to come to term and let her see and make choices.

Meanwhile you can ping me for prayer.

I did not read all of your post because .....Let Go Let God.

You cannot abort a child, but a child can perish at birth. Let the Lord guide your family at this time.

Hope I did not intrude to much and will pray for the family to resolve this.

On the upside it is just a medical technical disruptance.

Allow the Lord to give or take life.

Love and Hugs BG
