Heavenly Father we want to bring before You the little new-born lives that are having to go through invasive and often complicated surgery so early in their little lives. Be near to each baby that is facing surgery today and we pray that You would guide the hands of the surgeons and other staff that are involved with the surgery, and provide them with the wisdom and skill to perform the surgery without complications.
We also lift up the parents and wider families of tiny babies that are facing surgery today and pray that Your perfect peace would guard their hearts and minds as they face the difficult task of seeing their precious baby being prepared for surger, having to hand them over and wait for the duration of the operation.
Lord, into Your hands we place these parents and babies. In Jesus' name,
Amen.
St. Gerard, who, like the Savior, loved children so tenderly and by your prayers freed many from disease and even death, listen to us who are pleading for our sick child. We thank God for the great gift of our son/daughter and ask Him to restore our child to health if such be His holy will. This favour, we beg of you through your love for all children and mothers.
Heavenly Father, watch over our child, and grant that he may be restored to that perfect health which it is yours alone to give; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Heavenly Father, I bring before You all women that are pregnant, and all couples that are expecting a little baby to be born into their home. I ask Your protection for all babies that are secretly being formed in the womb of their mother.
I ask for their protection, preservation and healthy growth while still developing in the womb, and I pray that expectant mothers will be given the wisdom and grace to avoid the things that can prove so detrimental to the development of the pre-born child.
I pray that You would surround all pre-born babies with a hedge of protection, and that each little life may develop into the perfectly healthy new-born baby, knowing that there are so many problems that can affect a child in the womb and injure their physical and cognitive development.
Lord it was You that said, "suffer the little children to come unto Me and forbid them not," and so I pray that each one would be born into a family that loves and cherishes them and that each one would learn of Jesus in the days that lie ahead. In Jesus' name,
Amen.
O Lord God, I come to You for help and succor.
Give me grace to bear my child's affliction with patience and strength.
Bless me, O Father, and restore my child [child's name] to health.
Do not forsake us, but give us an assurance of Your loving Kingdom.
In the name of Your Holy Son Jesus Christ. Amen!
Saint Nicholas, who like the Savior,
loved children so tenderly and gave generously to those in need,
listen to us who plead for this sick child
who is so dear to our hearts.
We thank God for the great gift of our child
and we pray that He relieve this child of pain
and free him/her from suffering.
Obtain strength when he/she is weary,
hope when discouraged,
and joy when downhearted.
May the Lord, through your intercession,
restore perfect health if such be His divine will.
These favors, we beg of you through your love for all children.
Amen.
Jesus,
You're with us.
Though you are not seen,
We know that you stay by our side.
Jesus,
You love us,
More than we could know,
And you feel each tear that we cry.
Jesus,
We trust you,
To take hold of our hands,
Until we're recovered and well.
Jesus,
You promise to,
Comfort and care,
Until we are laughing and playing again.
Thank you Jesus.
Amen.
Father, we bow before You in reverence and fear, asking for Your healing touch on the life of this little child. We are concerned Lord, about this chronic illness and pray that in Your grace and mercy, this little baby might be quickly healed and speedily nursed back into full health and strength.
Comfort this little one and ease the suffering and discomfort that they are going through, and we pray that the distressing symptoms of this chronic sickness would soon be reduced and that the baby returns to normal health, in every part of their body.
Give the doctors the wisdom to treat this illness correctly and quickly. Strengthen and help the parents and all who are involved in the nursing care and give them all they may need to continue to look after such a sick child. May they be able to lay all of their worries and concerns down at Your feet, knowing that You are the God Who cares for little children and You are a God Who heals.
May Your peace that passes understanding guard the hearts of the parents in the days that lie ahead, and we will give You all the praise and all the glory. In Jesus' name,
Amen.
