O Benevolent GOD, Who does good! You
have written, in Your Torah: "A broken
and humble heart God, You will not despise."
Master of the Universe! My innards churn from sorrow
and worry over the little children who are suffering from
pain and illness (Mention the type of plague or illness "Spinal Muscular
Atrophy Type 1" as well as the child and their mother " Mary & Kate
Nelson"

Master of the universe! You are called compassionate
and gracious. That is why I plead before you: What is the sin
of these little ones who have never tasted sin? Lord of the world
O benevolent One Who does good, Eternal, my God! Please remember
these tender children and lengthen their days with benevolence and
their years with pleasantness, in order that they toil in
Your beloved Torah and its commandments all their days, Amen.
(From Yiddish Prayers or Jewish) --Brad Fisher

I pray, asking for the intercession of the Blessed Mother of Jesus, for her namesake, little Mary Grace. Today, the anniversary of the first apparition of Our Lady of Grace to the children in Medjugorge (June 24th, 1981) , I especially ask for her to beg the Divine Mercy of her son Jesus on little Mary Grace for her complete and total healing in the name of Jesus, and by the power of His Holy Spirit and the Love of God our Father, who is Love. May the sufferings she has and is experiencing, as well as those of her loved ones, be offered on her behalf by her parents to be added to those of Jesus on the cross, for the conversion of sinners and a Triumph of God's Love in this world. Little Mary, I send you my love and hugs and kisses. You are precious! May God Bless and Heal You! --Ann

Good evening. My name is Polly and I am a prayer warrior with Angel_Wings Prayer Warriors. Sweet Barret had a little request for prayers for you and a link to your website. (He is on our prayer lists.) I am stopping by to let you know that I am lifting sweet Mary and her family up in special prayers tonight during our Angel_Wings prayer vigil. May the Lord bless each of you with those certain, special things He sees you stand in need of day-by-day. May He bless Mary and wrap her tightly in His tender loving arms during her stay in the PICU to give her comfort, healing and strength to move forward on her journey. May He bless her medical team with His divine understanding, discernment, knowledge and compassion as they attend to her medical needs. May they, individually and collectively, be responsive to the Lord's promptings through their hearts and hands. Sending oodles of angel hugs and prayers. Mary Grace you are a beautiful Child of God and I know He loves you very much. "Oh, send Your loving kindness and truth to guard and watch over me." Psalm 61:7 --Polly from Angel_Wings Prayer Warriors http://groups.yahoo.com/group/angel_wings

We thank you Father that Mary is your little lamb and that you tenderly care for her. Heal her completely. Make her strong through this rough time. Bless Ryan and Kate, be their constant guide. Work through doctors and nurses that they will be able to perform well as we ask a special protection around and in Mary through the next many days. We know that we will all say Amen and many will look at Mary and say, "Who is this God that works miracles." They will thank the One who has made this very special girl. In Jesus name! Amen --Grandma Julie

Most gracious Heavenly Father, I come to you in prayer now to lift up little Mary to you. She is such a beautiful little girl and she needs you healing hands to touch her. The doctors cannot heal her, only you can. I pray that you will lay your hands on her and heal her from this disease that has taken hold of her and give her healing and strength and a long, healthy and blessed life. In Jesus name i pray, Amen.

I just wanted to let you know that I'm praying for you sweetheart! I hope you are all better and home very soon!!! Sending you lots of love! --Hugs, Brandy D. Shifflett www.our-sma-angels.com/emmagrace

Dear Heavenly Father, Lord, I know you don't make mistakes. You know every hair on our heads...You've knit us in our mother's wombs. You made Mary to be a special blessing to her parents. You've created a beautiful little girl with a sweet smile. Thank you for her caring parents. Thank you for those who care enough to do a benefit concert and races in her honor. Lord, I believe in miracles. I pray for a healthy and long life for Mary. Please bless this family with the resources required to care for her every need. Please bless them with knowledgeable physicians who can guide them in the right way to care for her. If there is a miracle, please bless Mary and her family with it. You're amazing Lord. Amen.

Father, in the name of Jesus, I confess your Word concerning Mary's health and healing. As I do this, I believe and say that Your Word will not return to you void, but will accomplish what it says it will. Therefore, I believe in the name of Jesus that Mary is healed, according to 1 Peter 2:24. It is written in Your Word that Jesus Himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses. Therefore, with great boldness and confidence I say on the authority of that written Word that Mary is redeemed from the curse of sickness. Satan, I speak to you in the name of Jesus and say that your principalities, powers, your spirits who rule in the present darkness, and your spiritual wickedness in heavenly places are bound from operating against Mary in any way. She is the property of Almighty God, and I give you no place in her. She dwells in the secret place of the Most High God. She abides, remains stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty, whose power no foe can withstand. Now, Father, because I reverence and worship You, I have the assurance of Your Word that the angel of the Lord encamps around about Mary and delivers her from every evil work. No evil shall befall her, no plague or calamity shall come near her dwelling. I confess the Word of God abides in Mary and delivers to her perfect soundness of mind and wholeness in body and spirit from the deepest parts of her nature in her immortal spirit even to the joints and marrow of her bones. That Word is medication and life to her flesh for the law of the Spirit of life operates in her and makes her free from the law of sin and death. I stand immovable with Ryan and Kate and fixed in full assurance that Mary has health and healing now in the name of Jesus. - Shanda Garth

Lord Jesus Christ, Good Shepherd of the sheep, you gather the lambs in your arms and carry them in your bosom: We commend to your loving care this child.

Lord watch over little Mary, keep her safe and happy. Help her with her daily struggles, rough patches, and setbacks. Stand by her parents as they fight to give every chance to their beautiful daughter. Hear them in their time of need and rejoice with them in their triumphs. We thank you for the chances we are given and hope that a full recovery is in the works for this wonderful little girl. Amen.

 

I am not a religious person, but I love children and after hearing about beautiful Mary...I felt the need to submit to a higher power and pray for her. Mary, beautiful angel, may your pain go away and your health restored. You are in my thoughts. --Olivia from Indianapolis, Indiana

 

Thanks be to God for all the dear people who make up this community of belivers.

God Bless each of these individuals as they pray, esp. Mary's Godfather serving in Afaganistan and Mary's Aunt serving in Iraq. We know that You Lord have good things in store. Your love endures to all generations. This Grandma is thankful for all who pray. Thank you Lord. Amen --Grandma Julie
