Prayer Night

Genesis 50:20

You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.

I have to say that tonight the devils plan back fired, it was amazing that so many people came out to pray for Riley.....Thank You Everyone

Just to give you an update Riley is doing fine right now and they have started doing continuous feedings which are meant to help strengthen her stomach.....I am so excited to see what God is going to do in this situation.....We are just trusting in God and his goodness we are sitting in a good place right now(faith is an amazing thing)......Please everyone pray that the test for spinal muscular atrophy comes back clean and that she does not have it and please pray that her feedings go well and her breathing is stable.

There are no amount of words that will ever truly explain how blessed we feel to have all of you in our lives....We Love Each And Everyone of You

Hi Turner Family. We just wanted to let you know that we love you and are absolutely praying for your baby girl. God is using you and her to make Himself known to unbelievers, and to draw those of us who know Him into a deeper relationship with Him. There is the Power of God surrounding her and her circumstances. Even Riley’s young peers at the prayer meeting last night were raising their hands in worship and prayer some as young as 2 years old! God’s presence was ABSOLUTELY felt last night and it was because we were coming together for a purpose, and your daughter was a huge part of that purpose. I can see the face of God in both of you, and you are encouraging the rest of us who watch you, putting ourselves in the situation you are living. When you recount this testimony to thousands of others, as I am sure you will, know that God is AMAZING through all three of you, and Riley has some big plans for her future. How else could you explain the dramatic fight for her life? We love you all.

Hey - this is Michelle (Johnson) Little. Mom and Dad have been keeping Terry and I updated on you guys and Riley's progress. I just wanted you to know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers. I am certain that God is using this for His glory and that you guys are making a profound impact on your extended family and church family as they see you walk through this in faith.

Hi Josh and Becca. I have a prayer for Riley.

Lord, because You have instructed us in Your Word that we are to pray for one another so that we may be healed, I pray for healing and wholeness for Riley Elizabeth. I pray that sickness and infirmity will have no place or power in her life. I pray for protection against any disease coming into her body. Your Word says, "He sent his word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions" (Psalm 107:20). Wherever there is disease, illness, or infirmity in her body, I pray that You, Lord, would touch her with your healing power and restore her to total health. Amen.

Hey J, B & A. I am so incredibly grateful to hear this news. Ryan and I have been praying for you guys everyday, and I miss Jacksonville now more than ever. It's really strange not to be with your family in times like these, and the distance is pretty ridiculous. I am so in awe of y'all's strength through this. It is so obviously God working here. You guys are awakening my faith, for sure. I love and miss you all and Riley is BEAUTIFUL!
