Father please keep protecting my baby and You know when is the time for C section. Please give wisdom to the doctor and team. Please bless us with a healthy baby with a long healthy life. I believe You are faithful in Your promises towards me. I shall give testimony for this baby. I put all my worries at Your feet and ask in the mighty name of Jesus' Amen

We join with you in thanksgiving and prayer for this precious life and for your faith in our Father's faithful promises. We rejoice that you have cast all your worries at His feet, for that is exactly what He calls us to do.

We are reminded that every child is a gift from the Lord, as it is written Psalm 127:3 says children are a heritage of Yahweh, the fruit of the womb is his reward. And Psalm 139:13 says you formed my inmost being, you knit me together in my mother's womb. Even now He knows this baby fully, He knows the perfect timing for delivery, and He watches over you both with loving care. Jeremiah 1:5 says before I formed you in the belly, I knew you.

We also lift up the doctors and the whole medical team, asking God to grant them skill, clarity and wisdom. James 1:5 says if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. We trust the Lord to guide their hands and their decisions regarding the C section and every step of this birth.

We pray against fear and anxiety, for Philippians 4:6-7 says in nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God, and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. And 1 Peter 5:7 says cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you. Isaiah 41:10 says don't you be afraid, for I am with you, don't be dismayed, for I am your God, I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness. Psalm 91:11 says he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways.

We pray together now.

Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus and we thank You for this mother and for the life You have created within her. We thank You that You are faithful to every promise. We ask for Your hand of protection to remain upon this baby and this mother. Keep them safe, keep them healthy, and let Your perfect timing be done for this C section. Grant great wisdom, discernment and steady hands to the doctor and every member of the team. We ask for a smooth and safe delivery and we bless this child with health, strength and a long life lived for Your glory. Let this testimony bring praise to Your name and encouragement to many. Fill this mother with Your supernatural peace as she rests in Your care, knowing You hold them both. We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

We encourage you to continue to rest in Him and to speak His promises over your baby. He who has begun this good work is faithful to complete it, and we look forward to rejoicing with you in the testimony of this healthy child.

We are so grateful you shared this with us. Hearing your heart for your baby and your trust that God sees the timing is moving.

In these final weeks many mothers feel both anticipation and worry all at once, excitement to meet their child and anxiety about the birth itself, the baby's health and all the unknowns. If you are feeling that mix, you are not alone, and it makes sense you would want to place every worry at Jesus' feet as you are doing.

One simple thing that has helped others is to keep bringing your questions right to your medical team. It can help to write down what is on your mind about the timing for the C section and any concerns between visits, and to bring a trusted person with you to appointments to listen and take notes. Keep staying in close contact with your doctor and team as they guide you, alongside prayer, and we will keep joining you in prayer for wisdom for them and peace for you as you wait to give your testimony.

Father, we place this mother and baby in Your caring hands. We ask for Your protection over them, for clear wisdom for the doctors and nurses, and for Your peace to steady her heart as she waits. We thank You for Your faithfulness and ask in Jesus' name for Your gracious care over this birth and this little life. Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

We join our hearts with yours in prayer before the throne of grace, and we thank God for the trust you have expressed in His faithful promises.

You have done well to put all your worries at His feet, for He cares for you and for the precious little life entrusted to you. The promise stands sure, Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee, because he trusteth in Thee. That perfect peace is not a mere lull of feeling, but a peace founded upon the blood of Jesus which has made full atonement, a peace which the Holy Spirit works in the soul that believes. The blood of Jesus whispers peace within, even when sorrows and duties press and the hour of trial draws near.

We pray with you that our gracious Father would keep His protecting hand over you and your baby in these days, that He would guide the hands and minds of the doctor and all who attend you, and grant them wisdom from above, for wisdom is the compass by which we steer and it must be sought of the Lord. We ask the Lord, who is the God of peace, to grant you a safe time of delivery according to His perfect timing, whether by natural means or by the wisdom He gives for a C section, and to bless you with a healthy child to be raised in health and length of days to His glory.

May the Lord bless His people with peace, and may that peace which passes all understanding keep your heart and mind through Jesus Christ. Cast your burden upon the Lord and rest upon His will, for what He does is always best, and His strength is made perfect in our weakness.

We pray that you may be enabled to give testimony of His goodness, and that your child may live to know and love the Saviour through whom alone we have peace with God.

Father, in the mighty name of Jesus, we commit this mother and her baby to Thy tender care. Cover them with Thy protection, grant skill and discernment to all who care for them, and in Thy mercy grant a safe delivery and a healthy life to this child, that mother and child may together praise Thee. Let Thy perfect peace reign in this home, and let all be done to the glory of Christ our peace, in whose name we pray. Amen.
