Desperate for Prayer

I am desperate for prayer. my 9 year old niece has suffered a major stroke. her right carotid artery is blocked and the right side of her brain looks like it's dead. She is paralyzed on her left side. She is non responsive. They think she might have had an undetected heart problem. The doctors can't confirm that she will be okay. Please pray for a miracle. No 'sending good vibes' please.... PLEASE carry this child to the feet of Jesus in real and fervent prayer. We need a miracle. Lord Jesus please heal her body.....

I always talk about how Rachel is the 1st and last thing on my mind each day.  Last night and this morning, it was Jailyn Rachel. (her middle name)  Teetering between "this can't be real" and to "what the fuck are we supposed to do if this little girl doesn't make it?"  to  "how will my daughter possibly be able to take this?  Hoping in between that this is all either a bad nightmare or that she will come out of it with some physical limitations, but still be with us.  The thought of having to miss her too makes my stomach sick.  God please don't take her from us.

The weight is the heaviest weight I have ever felt in my entire life. I cannot begin to imagine what my sister is feeling.  Please pray for her too.

  2. Just reading this now. I am and will continue to pray for sweet Jailyn. Praying for wisdom for the doctors and nurses as they tend to and treat Jailyn and for the peace that passes all understanding for her family in this time of waiting. Praying for healing for this little girl. My heart aches for your family.

  3. Abba Father, I lift up Jailyn to you. Touch her, heal her. We are powerless, but you are not. You are mighty God, and yet you see her, and you feel her pain. Please let her family feel your closeness. Give them comfort, security, and let them know the peace of God, which can never understand. Lord please - heal Jailyn. We beg of you.
    In Jesus name, Amen. <3

    I will keep praying, every chance I get.
