Description

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 founder and president of Praying Through Ministries, which provides support for parents whose children have been hospitalized 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.

Katie Faris

As a mother of multiple children with serious health conditions, there are times when I don’t know how or what to pray. Eric and Jessika’s heartfelt, Scripture-based prayers put words to thoughts and feelings that can be hard to express, while also helping parents like me to look to God and hope in him.


Kathryn Butler

Author, Between Life and Death

What a gift Schumacher and Sanders offer the hurting with In His Hands, a beautiful, poignant collection of prayers for those touched by child illness and loss. Nuanced with the wisdom of personal experience and saturated with Scripture, this book will offer a voice to the suffering when words fail, and point them to the one, true Word who has borne their sorrows and is acquainted with grief.


Sarah Walton

Author, Hope When It Hurts

When our child faces a medical crisis, fears can paralyze, emotions can disorient, and we often lack the words to express the whirlpool of thoughts and feelings within. I was deeply impacted by these beautifully real prayers, which in many ways speak into countless circumstances. When you lack the words to pray, open the pages of this book and you will find the words your heart longs to cry out to your Heavenly Father.

“Much needed resource”

When the pain is so much that you just do not have words, this book is a true gift.

A gift which helps you connect with the only One who can provide strength, peace and help in time of need. 🥲

💕 What’s it about?
This book is for those experiencing or wishing to pray for those who are experiencing child medical crises or loss. It is full of very specific prayers, such as for the medical staff, extended family, doubt, healing, clear diagnoses and more. These prayers are based on the promises of scripture, with specific scripture references alongside them. 🙏

💕Concluding thoughts:
Whilst I have only had a very minor experience of a child health crisis when Elias was born, I can remember what it felt like to have control slipping out of my fingers, the worst-case scenario looming at the back of my mind, all whilst on little sleep and feeling like my mind was swimming in confusion.

I wish I had had this book at the time. ♥️

As I read these prayers aloud, thinking of those who find themselves in these situations, I felt very grateful that @jessikasanderswriter and @emschumacher took the time and care to provide this invaluable resource.

💕 Who’s it for?
If you are in this situation or know anyone who is, I can highly recommend this book, which is available for pre order now.

Thank you TGBC for generously providing this copy in exchange for my honest review. I pray it finds itself into the hands of those who need it. ♥️
