Thank you, Gloria. I am hoping that she will eventually see all of our words of comfort and encouragement. And I trust that Our God will hear our prayers first, bringing His comfort down to her. Love and blessings, Mary Kay xoxo

Oh, Mary Kay, this is so very beautiful! You were really writing in the Spirit as I feel His anointing on this writing full of comfort from Scripture. Thank you so much for this!

Thank you so very much, dear Helen. We must be there for one another. I am touched that you felt God's anointing on this, because I really felt compelled to write it and couldn't properly rest, until it was done. It has been said that any prayer that ends in Heaven, begins in Heaven! And so I hope that more of us will find this prayer and read it; more importantly, that more of us will pray for Yvonne and continue to lift her and her family up, before God's throne of mercy and grace. Hugs and blessings to you, my friend. - Mary Kay xoxo

You have the gift of intercessory prayer, dear Mary Kay, you really do. I could feel this one. A special calling and gift of the Holy Spirit.

It is especially difficult to lose someone we love so much that has promise for their lives and days unfulfilled. God knows, sees and uunderstands, and sends His special comfort during these times. I dont know how people deal with this kind of life stuff without Him. A beautiful and powerful penned prayer for Yvonne.
Sending you my best today as always,
Sal XOs.....xo...

Thank you very much, dear Sally, for your encouraging and affirming review. I so deeply wish the circumstances were different, but sometimes we are called to use certain gifts as they are needed. I don't know what I would do without the prayer groups that I'm in during the week, mostly by phone. As much as we're praying for others, I feel so deeply ministered to myself. I don't know how I managed before that time -- certainly not as well. Combining gifts of intercessory prayer and writing can have unusual results, but I really felt moved to do this. May God comfort her soul. I wish I could take away her brokenness, but that's what Jesus does -- not all at once, but that's Who He is. He is the ultimate Intercessor, who bore her grief. We must be in His Presence, for her. For us. I really need Him for my own infirmities too. We all need Him desperately. Sending you hugs and love! - Mary Kay xoxo

This is a beautiful prayer and I'm sure knowing her fanStory friend care
it is something that will comfort Yvonne in the days to come. I've seen prayers and poems others have offered in her behalf. I know how it feels to have a child that is sick enough that you know they may not make it. What fear and pain grips your heart. I know what it like to lose a 2 month old but how much it would be to lose and adult child. Without God's comfort as the time, I don't know how ai would have made it. I don't know Yvonne but she is my private prayers.

Amen! The best thing we can do for her right now, is to pray. I don't have children, but I can't imagine losing a child, if I had one. I know you lost that little baby at the age of two months, which had to be a dreadful loss. You were so young, and your baby so fresh and new. Absolutely, you needed God's Presence to overcome that sorrow. I don't know the age of Yvonne's adult son, but to lose a child one has raised from infancy, all those years and come to know as part of life -- it has to be a terrible thing to have ripped away. I think someone else wrote a post on here about Job's friends, how they just sat silent, at first, because they were so stricken at Job's suffering. Sometimes that's all we can do, but it's hard to do that when you're not with the person who you want to comfort. So as you wrote, she's in your private prayers, and that's a blessing to her. Thanks for the fine review, Beth.
Love and blessings,
Mary Kay

be devastated, for quite some time.

This is a terrific prayer for Yvonne, Mary Kay. You are bathing her in prayer at this rough time when she so desperately needs it.

Thank you, Bill. I hope a lot of people will review this so that they will pray along with it and a chorus of prayer will fill Our Father's Throne Room -- or that prayers for Yvonne will otherwise find their way to God's ears and that His grace will come down and soothe her pain.

Yours is a heartfelt prayer for Yvonne, MaryKay. You did an excellent job writing this with words from your heart. The image is perfect, too. I know Yvonne, will treasure this.
Respectfully, Jan

Thank you so much, Jan. I was going to choose among my many images of flowers, but then I remembered the photos I took in Central Park, very recently. Yes, I wanted to write a heartfelt prayer. I'm surprised you still had a six, so late in the week -- thank you for that. I am thinking that whenever Yvonne is able to check in on FS, she will be touched by the support so many have expressed through this book, and I wanted to make a contribution. It's just one of those things, I wish we could fix it. Such a deep hurt. We will trust that our prayers will help! Blessings and love,
Mary Kay xoxo
