Praying for Stellan

My heart is aching this week for this sweet family and their precious son Stellan. I read about him about four months ago when he was born healthy despite doctors saying he would not live. Stellan has a heart condition that I am not going to try and explain, but it is serious. If you are reading, if you feel led, pray for him. Drop to your knees and pray for this child, pray for his family, and praise our God that He is in control of this situation. His family was not expecting this, but our sweet Jesus is not surprised. Please check out MckMama's blog to read the full story so you can know how to pray more specifically. Angie Smith posted these verses on her site to pray for Stellan and I wanted to put them here for anyone who reads this.

1 Praise the Lord, O my soul;

all my inmost being, praise his holy name.

2 Praise the Lord, O my soul,

and forget not all his benefits-

3 who forgives all your sins

and heals all your diseases,

4 who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion,

5 who satisfies your desires with good things

so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's

(from Psalm 103)

1 Blessed is he who has regard for the weak;

the Lord delivers him in times of trouble.

2 The Lord will protect him and preserve his life;

he will bless him in the land

and not surrender him to the desire of his foes.

3 The Lord will sustain him on his sickbed

and restore him from the bed of illness...

(from Psalm 41)

Lord Jesus, I know Your power. You are great like NO other. We will not cower in fear, nor will we let our thoughts consume us. Our Jesus is still the same....He is still the same. We are praying from a place of confidence, and with the belief that you are able. Heal him, Abba. We will give You all the praise..
