Love always,

We will definitely be praying for you intensely and wait for GOD to show himself powerfully. Great Bible verse. We love you so much, Speck Family.
I suggest that those of us who can start a prayer fast...of something anything that you can to show GOD our intense petition...and to post notes around your house and office to remind ourselves to pray without ceasing until little Bennett is healed. These first hours need our prayers desperately...I don't know why really we should have to pray for something that seems it should so obviously be in GOD's will. But the Lord has asked that we do this ...and we will..
We love you all.
GOD IS ABLE TO DO ALL THINGS...And we can do all things through Him who gives us strength. I believe this.

Dear God,
Please lay your healing hands on baby Bennett right now. I pray that you will take the infection out of his body and help him to recover quickly from this. Lord, I know that you hear our prayers and I pray with all my heart that you give Travis and Kelly the peace and support that they need right now. Let them to know how much they are loved and that You are right there with them and will see them through this difficult time. Please also be with Kelly as her body heals from the emergency C-section. We are so happy for this new life that you have brought into this world and are so thankful for his parents who love you so much. We look forward to the day when he can go home from the hospital. Thank you for hearing the prayers of your children. In Jesus' name, Amen.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers, and though I know you're feeling exhausted right now, God is so powerful and He hears your prayers and those of your friends and family. I know Bennett is just beautiful, and I hope he feels better SO soon. I can't wait to see him!

You've been on our minds and in our prayers since we heard about Bennett's arrival. We continue to pray for quick healing! Bennett is a beautiful baby boy! He's very long!!! We can't wait to see more pics of this precious one!
We are so sorry Bennett's arrival has been a difficult one. We know this wasn't expected and so we will also pray for you two as you endure this trial. May God give you peace as you wait on news of Bennett's progress. We're asking that you'll all be together soon and sweet Bennett will be in your arms where he can stay all day long!
The last comment was from me too! Just wanted you all to know that our entire family is praying for your family!

We love you, we love you, we love all 3 of you! We are, of course, praying for you non-stop. My heart is especially sad because we are out of town and can't be there with you all in person. As soon as we get back we want to hug your necks. Please let Grana know that my mom is praying for you guys and her too! The Grandmothers shouldn't be left out!
Bennett is so beautiful! We are praying for his little body to heal completly and the 3 of you can go home and rest.
We love you so much.

We went to Green Street church in Nashville when Travis and his brother were there. I want to let them know that we are praying for him, his wife and his child. We want them to know that we believe that God performs wonders and always has a plan for us.
Yours in Christ, our Lord, Peggy Bell (Suzanne's Mother)
Travis, Kelly and Bennett...
May the Lord use this time in your lives to draw you closer to Himself. May He receive all the glory due Him and may you know and rest in His peace throughout this providential ordeal. He is magnificent and His ways are far above our own...thankfully! As the recipient of 4 precious gifts, (in children alone), from the Lord's hands, I know the all-consuming love that is within you, (Mommy and Daddy). I also know the fear that resides in your hearts in these moments and I, most importantly, know the comfort that is readily available at all times for those who seek it...! Our Gracious Heavenly Father is sovereign and when He so chooses to bring about circumstances such as these may we never question Him, but may we accept from His good and bountiful hands, with thanksgiving, all that He brings to our tables. I will be praying earnestly for Baby Bennett and for the two of you...
With all of my love,
Jamie
Travis and Kelly,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and precious little Bennett. May you feel the comforting presence of your Heavenly Father and the reassurance of your faith.
Sharon B.
May our tears of concern and our urgent words uttered on bended knee soon be replaced by even greater tears of jubilation and shouts of celebration so that all may look on in wonder and know that this child was born to a particular blessing.
Kelly, Travis and Little Bennett,
You have been in my prayers and thoughts since this morning when I heard.
God is awesome and mighty and the great Physician. He will hear our prayers.
I pray He will heal Bennett and Kelly and you all will be home starting a new chapter of this amazing life together.
Hold fast to God's promises.
Love you all,

Bennett is such a cute little guy -- we're praying very hard that he will be better soon and you guys can take him home. Nelson is even walking around the house saying, "baby Bennett, amen!" So you have a little prayer warrior lifting him up, too!

Travis, Kelly, and little Bennett--I am praying!
Take heart in this promise from Psalm 91:
For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
... "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation."
steve and cilla, we are with you in spirit and love. we pray so fervantly that God will give little Bennett strength and healing. and that God will hold you both and travis and kelly in the palm of his hand. -ophelia-

I love love love you all!!

Dear Travis and Kelly...
I am just so pleased to hear of the continual progress and sustaining that the Lord continues to be providing in this time, for all of you.

Continue to trust in His sovereignty and His providences for your lives...

Fellow Christians,
We learned of your precious baby's condition from Murray Sanderson's mother. We are praying for Bennett that this situation will be short lived and you will be able to take a healthy baby home. May God bless you as well as your families as only He can and hear and answer our prayers.

Dear God,
Work miracles! Send your angels to minister to Bennett right now and heal his precious body. Keep him safe as he undergoes the ECMO procedure...help him to pee, help him not to bleed, help his heart and lungs to be able to work independently soon. Lord, you know how we long for his health and wholeness! Please let Bennett recover FULLY so that he can know how You have worked in his life and how much he is adored. Lord, bless Kelly and Travis. They are your servants and they have served you faithfully for so many years...let them feel your power and grace and love right now in powerful ways. Give them the faith and strength that ONLY You can give. Bless their families with energy to serve them and show the rest of us how to do so as well! We love You, God, and we know that You will honor our requests. Give us more faith! In Jesus, Amen.
