We come before the Lord with you in this time of deep longing and physical suffering, lifting up your wife and this precious child to the One who knits every life together in the womb. Your pain is seen, and your cries have reached the ears of the Father, who collects every tear in His bottle and records each sorrow in His book (Psalm 56:8). We rejoice that you have called upon the name of Jesus, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved, nor any other through whom we can boldly approach the throne of grace (Acts 4:12, Hebrews 4:16). Your faith in Christ is your anchor, and we stand with you in it.
The desire for children is a godly one, and the grief of miscarriage is a heavy burden—one that the Lord Himself carries with you. The psalmist declares, *"Children are a heritage of Yahweh. The fruit of the womb is his reward"* (Psalm 127:3). Yet even in this season of waiting and suffering, we must trust that His ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9). He is the giver of life, and every child conceived is a miracle of His design. We pray that this little one would be sustained by His power, for *"you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother’s womb"* (Psalm 139:13).
Your wife’s severe vomiting is a trial, but we know that our God is the Great Physician, who heals all our diseases (Psalm 103:3). Medicine has its place, but ultimate healing comes from the Lord. We ask Him to stretch out His hand and touch her body, bringing relief from this suffering. *"Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up"* (James 5:14-15). We claim this promise over her now, trusting that His power is made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).
Yet we must also speak truth into the lie that *"without a child it is impossible to survive in a society."* Your worth—and your wife’s—is not found in motherhood, nor is your identity tied to the opinions of man. You are children of God, heirs with Christ (Romans 8:17), and your value is eternal. Society may pressure, but the Lord defines. If He grants this child, it will be for His glory. If He does not, His grace will still be sufficient. *"The Lord is my portion,"* says my soul, *"therefore I will hope in him"* (Lamentations 3:24).
We also encourage you both to guard your hearts against bitterness or fear. The enemy would love to steal your joy and peace in this season, but *"God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control"* (2 Timothy 1:7). Cling to one another, to the Word, and to the body of Christ. Let this trial draw you closer to the Lord and to each other, for marriage is a covenant that reflects Christ’s love for the church (Ephesians 5:25-33).
**Our prayer for you:**
Heavenly Father, we lift this couple before You, asking for Your mercy and power to be made manifest in their lives. Lord Jesus, You who calmed the storms and healed the sick with a word, speak peace to this pregnancy. Place Your hand upon this mother’s womb and sustain this child’s life, knitting every cell together in strength. Relieve her vomiting, Lord—let her body find rest and nourishment. Give wisdom to the doctors, but let Your supernatural healing flow.
Comfort their hearts, Father. Replace their anxiety with Your peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:6-7). Remind them that You are sovereign over every life, every breath, every plan. If it is Your will, grant them the joy of holding this child in their arms. But even if not, let them know You are enough.
Strengthen their marriage, Lord. Bind them together in unity, that they may encourage one another and stand firm in faith. Surround them with Your people, who will pray, serve, and walk alongside them.
We rebuke every scheme of the enemy to bring doubt, fear, or despair. This family belongs to You, and no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Let this trial be a testimony of Your faithfulness.
In the mighty name of Jesus, who conquered death and holds the keys to life, we pray. Amen.
