PRAYER FOR PREMATURE INFANTS
by Clinel “Sissy” Davis

Our Gracious Heavenly Father, thank
you for this precious child that you have
given this family.
Lord, we know from your Word that you
never leave us or forsake us.
We call upon your name for comfort in
our hour of need for you are our
strength, our only refuge, and we seek
peace in this time of uncertainty.
Our hearts are overwhelmed
with fear and doubt.
You, Lord, are the Great Healer.
We ask that you pour out your great
healing power on this precious little
lamb of yours.
Bless and keep this little one
surrounded with your abundant love and
mercy. This is the prayer of our hearts.
We ask these things in the precious
name of your Son, Jesus Christ.
Amen.
