Please pray for a 7 yr old with Leukemia

I would like to ask for prayer for Jacquelyn. She's 7 yrs old and was diagnosed with luekemia in late June. The prognosis isn't that great, the doctors give her no more than a 50/50 chance to survive. She has been taking chemotherapy treatments every other week and has been a trooper and so brave.

She is supposed to be having another treatment this week but she can't because she is too sick. She has a blood fungus and some kind of infection and she's in extreme pain. They have her on morphine. I'm just so concerned about her. She's such a beautiful little girl, so full of life and personality and I know she's in God's hands but we all love her so much we want her here with us.

My daughter-in-law said that she teared up in front of her the other and Jacquelyn hugged her and told her don't worry I'll be okay. Saturday, they let my grandchildren see her and they read her a book but she's been too sick most of the time to have any visitors except her parents.

I ask everyone I see to pray for her and I know how faithful so many of you are and I'd like you to add your prayers.

I wish I had a picture of her, you'd all fall in love with her immediately.

Father in heaven, we wait upon your mercy and grace. Please hear our supplications, hear the groanings of your Holy Spirit, making supplications for us beyond our means or understanding. Please touch this child with healing, restore joy to her and her family. In Jesus name we ask it.

[GailA]

Father Lord please keep your healing hand on this little angel. In the name of Jesus, amen.

Thank you for the update on Jacquelyn.

That she is without fever is a good sign. May God continue to bless and keep her and her family in His capable hands.

Prayers are offered for this brave little girl in fervent request that she is blessed with good health.

Please Father, we ask that You grant this child the opportunity to laugh, to play, to grow up, to enjoy her family and friends for the remainder of her natural life. Her family and friends know that she will be eternally happy with You in Heaven, but are reluctant to give her to You just yet.

We ask this favor of You as Your humble and contrite servants, in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Wonderful! God watch over this beautiful little girl.

That does sound like a good sign. I am sure I can speak for all, in saying that Jacquelyn will be in our prayers and in our hearts until victory comes.

[Fawnn]

And thank you for the update.

Continued prayers for Jacquelyn -- and all her family and friends.

We were hopeful for that but the doctors say it will take a lot of chemo and she would need to be in much better health before they would even consider bone marrow. They did test her little sister and she didn't match and they said they'd test the parents later if the need arose so it doesn't sound like there's a very good chance of it happenning soon.

I'd like to give more information but it is hard to talk about it all because the parents get very emotional. They're trying to be strong and they are counting every blessing especially after spending so much time in hospitals with other sick children. I have such respect for them because in their own pain and fear they can feel so much compassion for others too, even Jacquelyn worries about other kids who are sick.

As a fellow sufferer from leukemia, I'll offer up a special prayer.

I love hearing that. I know that I can trust in God but I need to be reminded constantly.

Heavenly Father, the hearts of Jacquelyn's parents are so fearful ... by the Power of the Holy Spirit, speak to them in ways of comfort and assurance and love. Thank You that this beloved child is improved ~ may it be, dear Lord, that Your touch brings her to the point of restored health. Thank You that in their despair, the family is still concerned for others ... may this compassion be honored ~ may Your hand of mercy rest mightily upon Jacquelyn and her family ~ may it be, dear Lord, in the name of Jesus, Amen ...

Wind in the trees, clouds drifting by - spots of blue, blue sky, praying that God's angels are watching over Jacquelyn. Jesus said, "I will not leave you comfortless..."
