Here is a
prayer we can all say for Ben. I have posted this on my daughters site
also. A Prayer for a Stong Immune System. Father, I Thank You for Your
hand of protection that rest over Ben. I thank You also for the natural
protection you created in Ben's body in the form of an immune system. I
there-fore speak specifically to the lymphocytes and command them in
Jesus' name to become activated and balanced. I speak to the tcell,
bcell, macrophage cell and the natural killer cells and command them to
function strongly and in the balance that you created them. Thank You
that Ben's immune system will instanly recognize and overcome any
foreign invader or process that occurs in Ben's body that does not line
up with your word. I further thank you, Lord that Ben's immune system
will maintain the proper balance and not become overactivted as a result
of fighting off foreign invaders and substances. Father I give you all
the Glory in the precious name of Jesus, amen.

I have
signed the guestbook before but I continue daily to read the updates for
Ben as well as hear them talking about it on WQBE. I pray for him
everyday. I lost my mother to cancer last Ocotober and recently my
Mother-in-law was diagonosed with breast cancer and had surgery to
remover the tumor and will begin chemo in 3weeks followed by radiation.
My thoughts are with you everyday. God Bless your family!

Wanted to
send some love and prayers to you all. Praying for Ben with all of the
new happenings, and for you -- Tom and Jennifer -- as I am sure your
hearts and minds are full with the thoughts of the weeks ahead. God is
in control. He knows your hearts and will continue to be faithful. Love
to Eli -- praying God will use every single thing he is seeing as a way
to make him more and more of a boy -- and then man -- after God's own
heart. What an example both boys have in you two. God is present, He is
near to you. Believing with you and praying for God's healing hand to
bring a miracle. Much love to you all.

Hi! It
was so great to see you all at Chili's again tonight! I was thinking as
I walked in that the last time we ate there was when we met your family.
I am still praying for all 4 of you! Eli is absolutely adorable! I was
happy to see Ben's famous smile that I have read about so much the last
couple of months. Your family is beautiful! Enjoy the weekend :) Trish

I am
always looking for a reason to go to Chili’s. Now this is a good reason.
I check on you guys daily. I often smile and sometimes cry. One thing is
for sure. We are only here a short time. No matter what your situation
is and it is important to thank God for all his daily gifts and answered
prayers. Ben he has got his share of answered prayers. When I pray for
your family I never feel like it is a lost cause. It all has a way of
working its self out. Not always in the time line we want. Or the news
we want. But the end result is the same, he is here and fighting. That
is what I hope and pray for when it comes to Ben and his illness. He can
be healed. God Can! I pray for Eli and your marriage as you are tested
daily. That at the end of the day you can still find comfort and support
in each other. Every day is a blessing. Our children are a blessing.
Good friends, our health, our lives are all blessings. Ben’s story
reminds me of this daily. I am excited you are coming home to WV and all
the love, support and fa

support and family time you will have. Ben will dictate his own care. It
is up to us to pray, believe and support you all as a whole. As a group
we are powerful and heard as one we are often over looked. I believe. I
believe in the miracle and love of God. HE CAN!!

I have
been out of town and I feel so out of the loop on what has been going
on. I just read the article in the promise magazine. What a true
inspiration your family is. Your words encourage me so much evertime I
read an entry. You all are so loved. Tim and I and the girls will
definately be going to Chillis on monday. What a GREAT excuse to go out
to dinner!!!! Keep believing!

Heard a
song today and you came to mind. Here is part of it... It is through the
stormy weather that I learn to trust you more I thank you for the
promise that I've come to know Your unfailing love surrounds me when I
need it most You're my hiding place safe in your embrace I'm protected
from the stormy rages When the waters rise and I run to hide Lord in you
I find my hiding place. Thank you God that you are faithful, that you
are unfailing. Thank you that we can indeed hide in you. Thank you for
all that you are. Thank you that you work all things together for your
good and glory. Thank you God that you are really, REALLY, GOD!! Love
and blessings to you Bowens all...

I agree
whole heartedly with Jennifer's comment in the Promise article: 'I think
God is performing miracles on Ben all the time, regardless of how it
ends.' The miracles per minute in Ben's life are amazing. We are all
blessed to be part of this journey. We still pray for the miracle of
life, and know that Ben, Eli, Jennifer and Tom are in God's loving
hands.
