prayer for faith, hope, love

Our newborn grand daughter, Maggie Mae, born 11-28-25, awaits heart surgery 12-12-25.


Dear Father God,

who knit this little one together

in her mother’s womb,

why are we now tied up in knots?

we wonder as we wait for her coming heart surgery…

it’s hard to hope for the best when we imagine the worst,

and yet…yet…yet…YOU. You are with us

in the waiting; You are Immanuel, Lord of Advent.

You watch her sleep (as monitors beep) in this sterile space;

You hold our dear grand daughter in your gracious embrace.

You love her more than her mother, father, or any of us can.

You hear bold prayers by day and quiet sobs in the night.

You are the ultimate Healer and we know You will

work on her tiny heart (even as you work on ours).

Grow all our hearts bigger, like Yours!

Amen.

    My wife and I went through the wringer
    with the birth of our first son, requiring
    a medical miracle. I thank God that he
    now has a healthy son of his own 🙏✝️

    Lynn, we pray for “the peace that passes understanding” as you watch and wait.
