My niece asked for prayers for this little one and the parents...

Please pray without ceasing for Ryker Waller and her parents, Keeli & Dwain. Ryker was born Wednesday is continuing to fight for her life. Pray for her little lungs & kidneys to start working. Pray for the continued strength and faith of her parents so that sweet baby girl may gain strength from them!!

O holy Father, heavenly Physician of our souls and bodies, who hast sent thine Only-begotten Son our Lord Jesus Christ to heal all our ailments and deliver us from death: do thou visit and heal thy handmaiden Ryker, granting her health and vigor, that she may give thanks unto thee and bless thy holy Name, of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit: now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Renew the strength of the parents and grant wisdom to all of those who are giving her care. Amen.

From my niece - "Update* - In the natural world it is going to be a rocky night for my daughter.In the spiritual world I choose to believe she is going to kick this in the butt tonight & all her systems are going to jump start. One Dr told us about the GOD switch that infants can get flipped on around the 4th to 5th day. They dont know...... why it happens but I am believing it is happening tonight. Pray for this with me and Keeli tonight!"

Prayers for Keeli and her parents. Please, continue to update as you have news. When she makes it through, I'd love to see pictures.

I just received this. May her memory be eternal!

From Waller family friends: "Prayer Warriors..please continue to remember Ryker's family. I just received word that our sweet angel has gone home to be with our Lord & Savior. Thank you so much for your wonderful blessings, without you, her family wouldn't have been blessed to have her as long as they did."

"I am so grateful for the hundreds of friends who have been (and will continue to) pray for this precious family. We will not understand -- this side of Heaven -- the full impact Ryker's 5 days on earth have had on so many people, but I know Jesus has used her to change hearts and to draw people to Himself!
Please keep lifting up in prayer Keeli, Dwain and their extended families! JEREMIAH 29:11-13!"
