Dear Ben and Shaina, "This is not the end!" Praying for Chaia, for the both of you, and your families. Praying for God's will, for strength, and the news of a victorious miracle. Keeping the faith in Him! Love you, Bruce and Sharon

Every time I turn on the Christian radio in Central Ohio, I hear the words LET FAITH ARISE. I don't think that a coincidence. We will continue to bombard heaven until we have our Miracle! Praying for rest and comfort tonight and the days ahead. THIS IS NOT THE END!

And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit that I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit within you ~~Ezekiel 36:26-27

Ben and Shaina, You guys are 2 of the greatest people I have never met! I am in awe of your strength and have no doubt that Chaia has that same fight in her. I have great faith that her miracle will come! Brian, Angela, Savannah & Tabitha Marshall

Stay strong Ben & Shaina! You will never be alone as you are surrounded by the Saints! Take it one moment at a time and focus on doing the next right thing! God is great and God is good!

"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen." Ephesians 3:20&21

Dear Ben and Shaina, I do not know you but have been reading Karen Price's post on facebook. I have watched your videos and read your blogs....You are an amazing couple...your faith in God is an inspiration to me and others...Chaia is absolutely beautiful and I am praying for her and you all....You have many people who are holding your arms up...Heaven is being bombarded with prayers amd the cup is full and getting ready to tip over. When it tips over, the answer to all the prayers will "rain" down on Chaia and you will see your miracle come to pass.. God Bless you both and know that you are not alone in this journey....Love in Christ, Crystal Lehman

Shaina and Ben,
I'm so proud of you guys for still glorifying God's name even at your lowest. You are a Great example of a follower of Christ for all of us!

I will continue to pray all day long for all 3 of you. The Lord had a plan all laid out before she was even born. I think you guys are doing a GREAT job living up to His Will already.

Love you guys,
Michelle N

Prayers offered as well. God be with this little family, especially its tiniest warrior, Chaia!

Everytime I hear Mark Harris' "All for the glory of You" I think of how Chaia's (a princess warrior for sure) situation is all for the glory of God. We are praying and beseeching the Lord to heal this incredible little girl. Your faith is an inspiration to many.

So sorry to hear of your difficult situation. I know that GOD is watching over Chaia. I pray that He brings renewed faith and hope to the both of you, and that somehow, in as difficult situation as this, He ushers in a real peace to your hearts (and to Chaia's). I also ask of GOD now, for the both of you, if he will see His little Chaia through her struggle. Most of all, I pray that GOD may glorify His name to the fullest through both of yours and Chaia's testimony.

GOD bless you. GOD bless Chaia. GOD bless as all.

P.S. I am Catholic and I hope this is not offensive to either of you, but I commit to say one decade of the rosary today for Chaia.

I'm a friend of Mike Schnee who lives in Nevada and works in a Pediatric ICU where we treat heart babies evey day ... I have been following little Chaia's story and praying for your family! I have seen miracles in our unit and God's amazing glory has been made known to many people in the process. She is in such wonderful hands, not only with the Cleveland Clinic physicians and nurses, but more importantly, her Heavenly Father's!!! He is holding her every single moment, even when you aren't able to do so! Praying that God will ease any pain or discomfort she may feel and give her an extreme sense of peace as He works through her tiny body.

It was awesome. Dawn has more: Hi Ben and Shaina and beautiful Chaia! Loved this!!!! This morning when they laid hands on us for Chaia I felt an incredible sense of strength and peace come over me! God is so powerful and so good! He is using your lives and story to touch people in places you've never been!

I found your story on Patrick Madrid's tweet. May you continue to feel God's loving arms around you during this challenging time and beyond & may your faith continue to grow. What a blessing for Chaia to have been placed into your embrace. As you shared Ben, God is present and at work in this experience. My prayers go up to heaven for all of you and for a miracle. Peace of Christ, Pilar in Fairfax, VA
