Silas
Beloved of All
Your prayer is heard, and God is not moved by the position of your body or the exact shape of your words. He is looking at the position of your heart, and your heart is turned toward Him in trust. I join you in asking the Father to be with you throughout this pregnancy, to preserve your life and the life of your child, to move the placenta to the correct place, and to guard you from every complication connected to the fibroids, the diabetes, or anything not yet known.
The same Lord who watched over Mary in the last hard stretch of pregnancy and ordered circumstances she could not control is able to order what is happening inside your body. He is not limited by what the doctors see, and He is not indifferent to your fear. Bring the fear to Him. You are not standing before God on the strength of a trouble free pregnancy or a perfect faith. In Christ, God has placed you in a position of mercy. He does not count your anxious thoughts or your sense of weakness against you. He receives you because Jesus is your Savior.
So ask boldly for a healthy baby and a safe delivery. Ask for the placenta to move. Ask for no complications. Those are right requests. At the same time, rest in this: whether the path is smooth or hard, His love for you has not changed. His faithfulness does not depend on an easy report. It depends on the finished work of Christ, and that cannot be moved.
May the Lord give you strength for the remaining days, peace in the waiting, and a healthy child in His time. May His mercy cover you both. In Jesus' name, Amen.
