Her call for prayer comes as a judge has asked the Government to "urgently review" the law on elderly drivers as he spared the 80-year-old motorist from jail after she mowed down eight schoolgirls.
Norma Stokes seriously hurt five girls, leaving one with brain damage, after she became "confused", and put her foot on the accelerator instead of the brake.
The Christian grandmother smashed a bollard, mounted the kerb, drove 120 metres down the pavement and crashed into the pupils.
The driver also ripped off the open doors of a school bus and hit two more parked cars.
The group of school children were aged 11 to 16 and had just left classes as the bell had rung for the end of term.
They were pupils at the Belvedere Academy in Toxteth in Liverpool.
Ms Stokes has asked prayers to be said at her church for the girls she injured, according to her defence.
Rachel Oakdene, lawyer for the defence, also said that she feels "absolute horror and sorrow for what has happened."
The defendant, Ms Stokes, of Booker Avenue in Allerton, Liverpool, pleaded guilty on Tuesday to five counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving on February 12th 2016.
At Liverpool Crown Court, Judge David Aubrey QC told Ms Stokes: "There was mayhem and carnage.
"Chaos, shock and horror descended.
"This case illustrates the need for the Government to urgently review, if it is not doing so already, the manner in which the elderly can or should be permitted to continue driving and hold a UK driving licence."
The widow, a former operating theatre sister, had devoted her life to caring for people and was deeply religious, the court heard, with her family and local vicar in the public gallery to support her.
Her lawyer, Rachel Oakdene, said: "The irony perhaps is that this defendant is a lady who has spent her life caring for others.
"She will live with the knowledge and consequences her actions caused for the rest of her life."
On Wednesday, she was given a two-year jail term, suspended for two years, and banned from driving for life.
