Heavenly Father,
We come before You with thankful hearts for the precious life of Chloe Marie, a beautiful child born into this world earlier than expected. At just 31 weeks and 4 days, she has shown remarkable resilience and strength. Lord, we marvel at the progress she has made, transitioning from a ventilator to a less invasive breathing machine, and even thriving in room air for a time. Now, as she requires a nasal cannula for oxygen, we continue to pray for Your healing hand upon her tiny body.
"He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak." - Isaiah 40:29. Strengthen Chloe's little lungs, Lord, that she may breathe on her own without the need for assistance. Guide the hands and hearts of the medical team attending to her, filling them with wisdom and compassion.
We also lift up her loving parent, who watches over Chloe with a mix of hope and worry. The emotional toll of this NICU journey is immense, and we ask for Your sustaining grace to envelop them. "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." - Psalm 34:18. Provide comfort in moments of discouragement and the patience to wait on Your timing.
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you." - Deuteronomy 31:6. Instill in them an unwavering trust in You, Lord, knowing that You walk beside them every step of the way. May they find strength in Your presence, and peace in the knowledge that You are overseeing Chloe's healing and growth.
Finally, we pray for the day when Chloe Marie can go home, healthy and strong, to the loving arms awaiting her. Until then, keep their family united in faith and love, supporting one another through this trial.
We place all our hopes and prayers in Your loving hands, trusting in Your perfect will and timing. In the name of Jesus, we pray,
Amen.
