Dear God,
ReplyDeleteI asked you to be with Chad and his family right now. I pray for Erin’s health. That you would give Chad the peace and comfort he needs to be their for her and for Erin’s body to heal during this time. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Yes, Lord! Amen!
DeletePraying for you everyday Erin and for Chad and the family, I pray that you are healed In the name of the lord 🙏 amen
ReplyDeleteI have tears running down my eyes after reading this update. I know so many people are praying for sweet Erin. and for Chad and for all of their sweet children. It gets me upset when I read people writing that they shouldn’t have had so many children. That is just not true. Their son is a gift from the Lord and he was meant to be here. They did nothing wrong by having these children and loving them. I’m praying all the time that God would do a miracle and let Erin get through this and come out of the hospital and gain her strength back. Many people do live through severe sepsis. And we serve a great God. Chad, you are the best husband. You’ve always been such a blessing to watch how much you cherish your wife. I’m just ready to sob but praying God will do a miracle.
ReplyDeleteThe people writing these comments, need to understand that having children as a gift from the Lord. Chad and Erin are to be applauded for their love for family.🙏✝️🩷
They are the real deal in Christianity. There are fakes out there that live double lives, but this family does not! The Bates are amazing and I want to thank you for the joy you bring so many. I wish your show had never been taken off the air, but I watch everybody’s YouTube channels. I love Chad and Erin’s channel.
I agree 100%!
DeleteI agree 100%!
DeleteMy feelings precisely. I am in tears right now as I read this update from Chad. I marvel at his devotion to Erin- he is a gem! Praying for God's divine intervention of complete healing for Erin's poor little body. Chad needs her and their precious children need their mama!!
Delete🙏🏻 Heavenly Father, You created this beautiful mother and this child and You can touch her body and bring her back to care for her and Chad’s family that You have given them. So many are asking You to do that, May Your perfect will be done! In Jesus name!
DeleteI am keeping her in my prayers too, they are wonderful beautiful Christians who love God so much, they are a wonderful example of how we should follow God. This was a beautiful comment you wrote.
DeleteI could not have said it better. I echo your thoughts and prayers. Praying for God's healing for Erin and comfort the family during this hard time. May God continue to bless them.

ReplyDeletePraying for Erin! Love you both. Praying for love and strength for Chad. Praying for ABSOLUTE HEALING ALL OVER Erin’s body. Anoint her with Your Love Dear Lord! We know she is a child of yours and all we ask is healing on her mind, her heart, her head, her organs, absolutely everything she has inside that is flowing through You.

ReplyDeletePraying that God would wrap His arms around Erin, Chad, their children, and the rest of the family. Lord, through your mighty power, please restore Erin to perfect health. We ask these things in Jesus' precious name. 🙏❤️
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry you are dealing with all of this! I will continue praying for a quick and full recovery. 🤍🙏 Latest research shows a potential connection to this and the mycotoxin 'Ochratoxin A'. It would be prudent to rule this out. Will the doctors test for this? Hopefully yes, and if not, is there a way to have the test run by a functional practitioner? Many prayers that the cause can be found soon! 💛

ReplyDeleteNumbers 6:24-26
ReplyDeleteChad and Erin,
The Lord bless you and keep you;
the Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you;
the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.
Erin, I'm praying Psalm 41:3 The Lord will sustain you on your sick bed and restore you from your bed of illness.
We pray you will completely wipe out all signs of infection from Erin's body and there will be no traces of complications left from this infection. I pray her organs would be strengthened and function as they were created to. That every cell would work together for good. That her immune system would kick in and begin to fight. Thank you that your favor continues to rest on Erin. May she feel your love, peace and constant care and watch over her Jesus. You have worked so many miracles on her behalf. We pray that you would continue to work another miracle! Psalm 27:13-14 I am still confident of this: that you will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living! Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. In Jesus Name, Amen!
Praying for her and the whole family

ReplyDeletePraying for healing for Erin! 🤲
ReplyDeletePraying for God's healing for Erin and comfort for Chad and all the family during this tough time. We serve a loving God and though we do not understand everything he does, we know that somehow there will be blessings. You have a beautiful family and God has truly blessed you, it makes me sad for the harsh things people have said but as my pastor often says, "it's the unsaved acting like the unsaved". We need to love as Jesus loved and our faith shines through and you all are a true testimony of God's love. May he continue to bless and comfort your family while healing Erin.
ReplyDeleteSending hugs and prayers!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Chad for sharing your heart. I'm not your mom, but I am a mom and have had you close in my heart, thinking and praying often for you and your family. I simply cannot imagine how you are feeling, however, your strong faith in God is such an inspiration and how thankful I am that you & Erin and your family love Him and rely upon Him. Praise God. May you continue to rest in Him. We pray Erin's healing can continue and we pray the medical team can figure out what caused the seizure. That wasn't what I expected to hear this morning, however, when God is writing the story, events happen that we don't expect sometime. The news made me teary and just bowed my head and prayed again. We love you and pray often for you. Consider a hug from this Mama!!
