"And this is the confidence that we have toward Him, that if we ask anything according to His will He hears us." (1 John 5:14)
...One of my best friends, Darlene gave birth to her first baby four months pre-mature. Baby Owen was born at 1 pound ; 11 inches. For the past 10 months this little fighter has been in and out of PICU, near death situations, breathing tubes, feeding tubes, surgeries, a long list of medication, and so much more. Darlene waited 6 long months to finally take baby Owen home, and after a couple weeks she had to take him back to the hospital because of more complications.
When I think of that phase being "desperate in prayer," I think of my friend Darlene and baby Owen.
Oh, how this young Mommy's heart breaks to see her baby boy go through this. ...How she longs for her baby to be healed, to take him home, and have the privilege of raising him here on earth.
I am crying out to God on their behalf! God, please answer her prayers!
Every night as I lay my own baby down at night and put him in his crib, I ask God that he would grant Darlene a chance to do the same with her baby....something that most of us moms take for granted because it's our norm. ...To be able to have her baby at home with her, to rock him to sleep, no tubes or wires connected to a machine, healthy and big enough to sleep in his own crib in his own room.

The bible says that "we can have confidence that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us."
Will you join with me and ask for this prayer to be answered? For if you have faith, even the size of a mustard seed, the bible says you can move mountains! And for those of you who have yet to put your faith in God, this story relates to you too!
Just as this young Mom desires and longs to bring her precious baby home and keep him....so too there is A Great & Perfect Love, a Heavenly King whose heart breaks to be apart from you, who longs to be close, who desperately wants to take you in as part of His family and share His Kingdom with you!

This love is extended to you for free if you choose to believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins.
If you confess that you are a sinner and ask for forgiveness, and invite Jesus into your heart and life, and accept Him as Lord and Savior, you will experience abundant life on this earth and eternal life forever.
Don't wait another day! You are part of a prayer waiting to be answered.
love,
Michelle
