Comfort in Time of Trial

I want to share with you all some of the thoughts that have given us comfort in this time of trial for our little newborn girl. First of all, your many prayers and your comments of concern have been a tremendous help for us. Remember that all of your prayers are heard and they do help.

"The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." - James 5:16


Her name has also been placed on the temple altar at Redlands and she will be prayed for there over the next two weeks which gives me immense comfort.

Lastly Siobhan and I read a wonderful talk by President Kimball on priesthood blessings and the Lords power of healing. I gained from that article complete faith that the Lord has power to bring our little girl home. We realize that God is the one that performs the healing while the doctors do the most they can to provide a positive environment for her. We will continue to post updates about her condition and especially photographs of mommy holding her precious child once she is able to! Thank you all again for your prayers. May the Lords will be done.

Dr. Abel, what a pure faith we all would have knowing our personal doctors go to the temple prior to our own surgeries. Thanks for the article. I'm sure if Truly could talk she would tell you she heard your blessing upon her tiny head, as did her heavenly father.
