Father God, you know this beautiful, perfect in so many ways, little girl that you created. You know the many people that love her and care about her. You hear the many voices, likely around the country right at this very minute. Some are at Duke University Hospital, where Gracie is resting in preparation for her surgery tomorrow morning, some are many states away, praying with their families for the miracle only you can provide. Lord, just as you have created her, you can heal her. The doctors are human, that is all. You have the power to remind them of exactly who You are through this. Gracie is a fighter. She has proven that over and over again. She still has lots of fight left in her, so if you give her half a chance, I'm sure she will come out of that surgery fighting.
Father, I also pray for her family. For her mom, who has longed to hold Gracie and kiss her without the constraints of a breathing machine and monitors. For her daddy, who just wants to look forward to all the things Daddy's Girls bring to a daddy's life. I pray for her big brother, who I'm sure has no idea the magnitude of what he is going through, but from experience, I know this is something that, no matter the outcome, will change his life forever. I pray for her Grandparents, who have been so faithful to Gracie, whether traveling many miles and hours, or simply helping out around the house so mommy and daddy could be with her. And her Aunt Michelle, who has worried and prayed endlessly for her since the day she was born, as well as many others in her extended family, too.
Lord, I know that your will is perfect, and that Gracie's life is not a mistake, nor is it without a purpose. I pray that you will be glorified through what is to come for Gracie Jean.
God is Good!
Amen!
Gracie's second heart surgery is scheduled for tomorrow (Tuesday) morning, early... like 6 or 7. Please pray, as the doctors are saying she has a 10% chance of survival. We know God could care less about statistics! Here is the link to her website
The story of the Mills' Family. Nate and Carol have been married since 1997. Taylor was born in 1998, Drew was born in 2001 and Toby was born in 2005 and joined our family forever in 2007. Here is our journey, where God leads us, we will go. That is my prayer.
