When your child or unborn baby is facing serious medical problems, it can be hard to know what to pray. The shock, uncertainty and fear can mean that even though you want to cry out to God in prayer, your words just dry up.
That’s where this book can help, with prayers that use Scripture to help you communicate with the Lord. Whether you need to cry out honestly to the Lord in grief, to pray boldly for healing and help or simply to process what is happening, you'll find words to help you talk with the God who loves you and weeps with you—the God who can do all things.
Authors Eric Schumacher and Jessika Sanders both know what it’s like to face a family medical crisis, and they are passionate about helping others in the most difficult situations. Eric is the author of Ours: Biblical Comfort for Men Grieving Miscarriage. Jessika is the Executive Director of Praying Through Ministries, which provides support for parents whose children have been hospitalised and families who have experienced child loss.
This easy-to-navigate book includes prayers for a clear diagnosis; prayers for healing; prayers for comfort and relief from pain; prayers for peace, courage, perseverance and wisdom to cope well; prayers for unity; for the extended family; for the medical team; for practical needs; for times of spiritual darkness and doubt; and much more.
This book is designed to help both parents and the wider family turn to God for help when a child is facing a medical crisis.

This is the spiritual, significant and practical book that gives guidance, hope and courage during the time of crisis which many parents and guardians go through during parenting of babies and children. May God use it extensively in this world of troubles and open eyes and hearts of many parents and guardians in anticipation of the world without calamities our Lord Jesus is preparing for those who believe in Him.

Having read Eric Schumacher's book "Ours" about miscarriage, I was excited to read this book about praying for our children when they go through medical crises. This book is strongly pastoral and caring, giving the hope needed alongside some time to lament too as we draw closer to God. One for the bookshelf of all pastors so that they can respond when tough times come round
(Review written for 'In His Hands')
When a child/unborn baby is facing serious medical problems, the fear and uncertainty these families experience can be so huge that words can be lost in the sea of grief and overwhelm. This is a beautiful and precious resource for those in suffering and need words they don't have.
Eric and Jessika have written a book full of faithful and heartfelt prayers inspired by Scripture to help us talk with our loving and compassionate God. They have even included simple ...but truthful prayers for little children to use to talk to our God who always listens.
This resource is such a blessing for families in grief and those walking alongside these families. I have and will continue to use this book to pray for/with my suffering friends. May we all remember God is with us and for us in every affliction in life.
Note: I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
