Father God~
I lay sweet Harper in your hands and pray that you would hold her close to you in this time of need. Wrap your arms around her parents and family and carry them as they are look on and put their whole trust in You and the doctors in charge of their baby girl's care. As an NICU nurse I understand the anxiety they must be feeling and know that look of helplessness I see so often in a parent's eyes. I pray that you will totally and completely heal her little body and that she will have no long term effects from whatever is going on with her right now. I pray that you would keep her parents calm and you would give them a peace that can only come from You. Guide her doctors and nurses. Give them the knowledge and wisdom to give her the best care and the words to give the best updates to her parents. Let them be comfortable telling exactly what they think about Harper's situation and help them to relay the information in words that will help her parents understand exactly what is going on. I pray that you bless this precious little girl and hold her and love her. Get her through this time and may her time in the NICU only be a memory that her parents tell her when she's old enough to understand. Thank you.
In your precious son's name, Amen.

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,

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 :)
