Prayer for Alysia

Published on July 21, 2004 By trina_p In Home & Family

I don't know what I want to write, I just wanted to write something to let Emma & Shawn know we're thinking of them when they log onto JU next.

Last night I asked Ashlee how Alysia and her parents were and she said that the doctors don't like her chances.
It has occured to be in the last couple of days that today (in US) and yesterday (in Aus) is the 21st - that Alysia Leah is one month old. It seems like so much longer ago that Emma first wrote asking for help with baby names and stuff.
I think alot of people have been touched by the birth of Alysia - Emma wrote so much in the first couple of days that we all feel like Aunts & Uncles and Cousins.

And now she's sick and he parents are hoping for the best and all her JU Aunts and Uncles are praying to their various Gods & Goddesses for her ... life - for her continued life.

As a mother myself I'd be distraught with grief if something like this was happening to me but I'm extremely lucky to have such a wonderful support system in my husband, my family, his family and our friends.

Whatever happens I just want to say a prayer to My God for Alysia and her wonderful parents - feel free not to read on if it will offend you.

Amazing Father God, I just want to pray right now for Alysia that tiny little angel on Earth who's in hospital and the doctors just don't think they can help her anymore. Doctors can't help her but you can. You love each and every single one of your children and your word says that you will never give us anything that we couldn't handle.
Right now I pray for the life of Alysia Leah and for her parents and her other friends and relatives, I pray that you will give them Your strength to carry on through this time and I know that you will never leave them.
You're always with them and when they need to I pray that they'll know they can come to you to rest their weary heads, Jesus died so we don't have to carry our own burdens - He'll carry them for us.
Father you are such an Awesome, Amazing all powerful God - you're the healer of the sick, you're the father to the fatherless You are our rock and our Salvation, shelter from the storm.
Your will be done Lord - It breaks my heart to say this but If it's your will I pray you're guiding hands over Alysia's life - And that if you have to take her that You will comfort the parents and I pray that they remember Alysia for the blessing she was to them in life and not be angry bitter or blameful about her passing.

I pray all these things in Jesus name because we know that whatever we ask for in Jesus's name it will be done and we know that our Faith can move mountains and we pray that you move this mountain Lord - bring ALysia back into the arms of her loving family - By YOUR stripes WE ARE HEALED.

Amen.

Trina, I read your article, and I prayed your prayer with you. May God's will be done, and may He heal Alysia Leah in the way He knows is best. Amen.

I cried when I read this. I don't know if Emma and Shawn will see it anytime soon on their own, so I'm going to keep it bookmarked and when they call I will read it to them.

I agree with you when You say that its like we're all Alysia's Aunt, Uncles, and Cousins. I feel like she's my little sister. And in her month of living, I've grown so attached to her. I can hardly imagine how much worse of a feeling Shawn and Emma are getting through all this. If I remember correctly, Emma or Shawn is supposed to be calling me tonight on the cell, if they remember my number.

I've been trying to get a hold of them, but I keep missing him. Thanks for your prayer Trina, I'm sure Emma and Shawn will appreciate it.

I wish there was something I could say. Maybe it would be like this...

God, you have so many angels with you in heaven. My prayer to you is that you let this little angel stay with her parents just a little longer. It must be kinda crowded on the streets of heaven, so if you take her to you Lord, I just ask that you hold her hand and make sure she looks both ways. Be with her family. Be with her. Amen.

My hopes and prayers for the best.

Don't know if any of you are familiar with the song "Streets of Heaven," but I've had it running through my head all day.....currently looking to see if I can find the lyrics so I can post them.....

Sherrie Austin - Streets Of Heaven

Hello God, it's me again. 2:00 a.m., Room 304.
Visiting hours are over, time for our bedside tug of war.
This sleeping child between us may not make it through the night.
I'm fighting back the tears as she fights for her life.
Well, it must be kind of crowded,
On the streets of Heaven.
So tell me: what do you need her for?
Don't you know one day she'll be your little girl forever.
But right now I need her so much more.
She's much too young to be on her own:
Barely just turned seven.
So who will hold her hand when she crosses the streets of Heaven?

Tell me God, do you remember the wishes that she made,
As she blew out the candles on her last birthday cake?
She wants to ride a pony when she'd big enough.
She wants to marry her Daddy when she's all grown up.

Well, it must be kind of crowded,
On the streets of Heaven.
So tell me: what do you need her for?
Don't you know one day she'll be your little girl forever.
But right now I need her so much more.
She's much too young to be on her own:
Barely just turned seven.
So who will hold her hand when she crosses the streets of Heaven?

Lord, don't you know she's my angel
You got plenty of your own
And I know you hold a place for her
But she's already got a home
Well I don't know if you're listenin'
But praying is all that's left to do
So I ask you Lord have mercy, you lost a son once too

And it must be kind of crowded,
On the streets of Heaven.
So tell me: what do you need her for?
Don't you know one day she'll be your little girl forever.
But right now I need her so much more.
Lord, I know once you've made up your mind,
There's no use in beggin'.
So if you take her with you today, will you make sure she looks both ways,
And would you hold her hand when she crosses the streets of Heaven.

The streets of Heaven.

I don't even know the girl. But when Ashlee told me about Alysia it made me feel like crying. I have been keeping her in my prayers though. And I hope the best comes for Emma and Shawn.
