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.

OK....the latest. I got back to work and my nephew called. The doctors sent them ALL home at around 1:00 this afternoon. Most of the family is there, from both sides, along with their wedding party.

They are making the most of what God's given them!!! And I am SO PROUD OF THEM ALL I COULD BURST!!!!!!

Keep praying!!! (please?)

Thank you, Father, for answering our prayers. Please hold little Matthew in your loving embrace. Please bless and comfort his parents and give them the strength they need at this time. We ask that you continue to give this little miracle life. We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.

I just got the call....the baby is now in Heaven, with his Lord. His body is now whole, healed, and complete.

He went Home about 20 minutes ago.

The family expresses their heartfelt thank you for all of your prayers for these nine months! You've all meant a lot to them. AND...a huge thank you from me, to each of you.

I'm heading out now, almost done at work. I'll talk to y'all later.
