We rejoice with you and thank our Father with you for the precious gift of your healthy baby boy. We join you in giving Him all the praise for His goodness and mercy. Truly children are a beautiful gift from the Lord, for Psalm 127:3 says Behold, children are a heritage of Yahweh. The fruit of the womb is his reward.
We stand with you in prayer asking for His continued protection and guidance over both of you.
Father in heaven, we come before You together in the mighty name of Jesus and we thank You for this child You have entrusted to this parent. We thank You for health and life and for Your loving kindness. We ask You to place Your hedge of protection around this parent and this baby, just as You have always been a refuge for Your people. We pray Psalm 91:1-2 over them, that he who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty, and that You will be their refuge and fortress. We ask that You command Your angels concerning them to guard them in all their ways as Psalm 91:11 promises, and that You would keep them from all harm and evil. We speak Your blessing over them as in Numbers 6:24-26, Yahweh bless you, and keep you. Yahweh make his face to shine on you, and be gracious to you. Yahweh lift up his face toward you, and give you peace.
We also lift up this little boy to You, Father, and ask that You draw his heart to Yourself from his earliest days. Guide him to the right path, the narrow way that leads to life, and cause him to grow in You in wisdom and stature and in favor with You and with man as Luke 2:52 shows us. Give him a hunger for Your Word and give his parent wisdom to teach him diligently. We pray Proverbs 22:6 over him, that as he is trained up in the way he should go, when he is old he will not depart from it. We ask that You give him understanding beyond his years, and as James 1:5 says, if any lacks wisdom let him ask of God who gives liberally, so we ask You to pour out wisdom upon him and upon his parent to raise him in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
We encourage you to continue to dedicate him daily to the Lord, to pray over him, to speak Scripture over him, and to let your home be filled with the Word of God, for Deuteronomy 6:6-7 teaches that these words shall be on your heart and you shall teach them diligently to your children. Keep thanking God for His protection and trusting that He who began a good work will be faithful to complete it. He loves this child even more than you do and He has good plans for his life.
We thank You Father for hearing our prayer together and we trust in Your faithful care, in the name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
