"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him." Colossians 1:15-16

Harper's Prayer Blog

This blog has been started as a prayer book for Harper Brown Stamps, born on January 16, 2009. Harper was born weighing 9 lbs and 12 oz, but immediately began having trouble breathing. Join us in praying for the healing of Harper's little body, for her parents Scott and Kelly, and for the doctors treating. Please feel free to leave your prayers and encouragement for her here. If you wish, leave your name, where you live, and a link to your blog.

Kelly and Scott,
Know that we are on our knees for you praying and pleading for the healing of your precious baby girl. I pray that this blog is a place of encouragement and hope for you - a place where you can come and draw strength knowing that our mighty and powerful God knows you, and knows your baby. He, and only He, is the miracle worker who formed Harper in your womb, and who created her for a special purpose. We, here in blog land, love you dearly and look forward to the day we see pictures on your blog of a bubbly little girl playing with Dawson!

On our Knees,
Ashley Williams

Scott and Kelly,
"In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit hemself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will." Romans 8:26-27
When I first heard of Harper's condition on Friday night this verse immediately came to mind. Of course, I prayed for her healing...and at that moment it was so overwhelming that I asked the Spirit to intercede for me, for Harper, and for both of you. When our heart aches so deeply and when we are overcome with such emotion....He goes to the Father with groans that we cannot express. And for that, we are so grateful. I truly believe that each and every person posting prayers for Harper will commit to pray for her EVERYDAY until the day she is at rest in your arms at her home in one of her monogrammed dresses.
In Him,

T-shirt info.

I just want everyone to know, in case you're wondering, I am NOT, in ANY way, receiving a profit from these t-shirts. The company that we are working with is donating $10 to Harper. It does cost them some money to make the shirts, therefore, that is where the other $10 is going. I know that some of you have felt that myself or Melissa are making a profit on these, but I can assure you that that is NOT the case. The only thing I'm receiving in return is the JOY that comes with doing something to help my dear friends ~ Kelly, Scott and sweet Harper. Please, if there are any more questions, just ask! :) Thank you, Jess :)

Pray for Harper.

I will be lifting you up in prayer every single day! Thank you so much for your devotion to Christ and helping me gain that eternal perspective. I will pray that you simply cling to God during this time of trial. I will also ask God for healing, strength, guidance, and patience to over come you.

He is enough,
Mary
Kelly, Scott and Harper,

Please know that my family's prayers are with you all. God is amazing and has a master plan for us all, especially little Harper. We went through a similar event when our little guy was born and my heart truly goes out to you. Our son is now 17 months old and healthy and not a day goes by that I don't thank God for him, he is truly my miracle child. Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with you all.

Praying for Sweet Harper Brown

Kelly and Scott,

I have followed your blog for a while now, I have never left a comment but every morning, every afternoon, and every night can not wait to check your blog.

I pray for precious Harper and your family all the time. I just want you to know I had twins 2 years ago, and my little girl was born with something similar to what is wrong with Harper. She was on the same machines, fluid on her lungs, the nursing staff saying it was day to day, tubes everywhere, chest tubes put in, among alot of other things and Karlea is now a very HEALTHY happy regular 2 year old!

I know God will heal Harper as he healed Karlea and you will be holding your little or should we say your almost 10 pound bundle of joy before you know it! God Bless you!

Sweet Harper

You were hoped for, prayed for, and loved before you were born....by your parents and your family, but also by all of your sweet mom's blog-readers.

You have been hoped for, prayed for, and loved every moment since you were born, too--by your parents and your family, but also by thousands of people from around the globe.  We're all looking very forward to seeing you grow happy and healthy.

Praying for Harper

Baby Harper - 
We have been praying for you and loving you from afar, but we all feel so close to your sweet spirit.  You and your family are being lifted up in prayer by so many people throughout the world.  You are a very special girl to be able to unite so many people who have never met (just like your sweet mother!), and I pray that this is an attribute you continue to carry with you as you grow! We will continue to pray for you and your dear family as you go through this.       

"Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost" - Romans 15:13

Praying For Harper

Sweet Harper,

I've never met your mommy or daddy but your mommy wrote all about you when you were in her tummy. I have prayed for you for many months. Now that you are born, I am still praying for you. When you grow up to be a big girl, I pray you will tell everyone what a miracle you are. Jesus has special plans for you, Harper. Always remember to tell Him how much you love Him.

Sweet Baby Harper...

We are praying all day long for your precious little body to heal!
GOD is GOOD!
HE is a HEALER!
We will continue to pray.....
love, the boyd girls

My Prayer

It is no coincidence you were born on the same day thousands of people (me included) visited your mommy's blog for the first time. The prayer of a righteous man availeth much, and I know there have to be thousands of righteous men and women praying for you.

Father God,
Continue to strengthen and heal Harper. Help her family to feel your arms around them during this challenging time and help them to rejoice in her healing. Above all, may you continue to be glorified through this family and through this situation.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
