Praise be to God with you for His great mercy in giving you a healthy child, and we join our thanksgiving to yours for this precious gift of His hand. Every good gift comes from the Father above, and a child is indeed a heritage of the Lord, for which we are to render humble and hearty praise.
You have prayed well in asking for a hedge of protection about you and your little one, and for wisdom that he may grow up in the knowledge of the Lord. Hear what the Scripture says, In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence and His children shall have a place of refuge. This fear of the Lord is not a slavish dread, but that holy reverence and trust which belongs to all true godliness, that bows to His will and rests upon His promise. When a parent walks in that fear, there is strong confidence, not in ourselves, but in Him who keeps covenant to a thousand generations. Take hold of that promise for your son as well as for yourself, and pray without ceasing that he may early be found within that refuge which is Christ Himself.
It is right that you should desire for him not only health of body but growth in grace, and wisdom to understand the Word of God. Remember that Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God, and all true wisdom is to be found in Him. The way of wisdom is made plain to the righteous, while the way of the slothful is as a hedge of thorns. Therefore bind the commandment continually upon your heart and teach it diligently to your child. As the proverb says, the commandment is a lamp and the law is light and reproofs of instruction are the way of life. Let the Word be in your house from his earliest days. Pray with him, read the Scriptures to him, and as years allow, let him be instructed in the great truths of our faith, that he may not have merely faint traces of grace, but may prove the promise, I will pour my spirit upon thy seed and my blessing upon thine offspring.
We will pray for you and your dear child.
O gracious Father, we thank Thee for Thy goodness in this birth and for Thy preserving care thus far. We ask Thee to keep Thy hedge of protection about both parent and child, to preserve them from evil and to supply all their need according to Thy riches in Christ Jesus. Be Thou the refuge of this little one, and in Thy time bring him by Thy Spirit to know Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent, for there is salvation in no other. Grant him a heart to fear Thy name, to love Thy Word, and to walk in Thy ways all his days. Give to the parent wisdom and strength to bring him up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, with patience, prayer and godly example. Keep him from the paths of darkness and make him a child of light, to the praise of Thy glorious grace. This we ask in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
