We join with you in prayer for you and your precious baby as you await your pregnancy report tomorrow, and we lift up your desire for health and a safe delivery before our heavenly Father.
We are reminded of how intimately God knows and forms each life. For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother's womb. I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made Psalm 139:13-14. Behold, children are a heritage of Yahweh. The fruit of the womb is his reward Psalm 127:3. God already knows this child and loves this child, and He cares deeply for you as a mother. We also remember His promise to be with us in times of anxiety, 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 Isaiah 41:10. And we are encouraged not to carry this worry alone but to bring it to Him, 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 Philippians 4:6-7.
We also want to gently share with you something of great importance. We noticed your prayer was addressed to God but did not mention the name of Jesus Christ. We want you to know that it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father and it is only through Him that we are saved. Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6. There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved Acts 4:12. When we pray in Jesus' name, we come through His sacrifice on the cross for our sins and His resurrection, trusting Him as our Lord and Savior. If you have not already, we encourage you to put your faith in Jesus, confess your sins, and follow Him, for He is the source of our hope and our peace.
We now pray together for you.
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, thanking You for the gift of life You have created within our sister. We thank You for this baby, fearfully and wonderfully made by Your hands. Lord, we ask for Your mercy and protection over both mother and child. We pray for tomorrow's report, that it would show health and strength for both, according to Your gracious will. We ask You to grant her a healthy body, to sustain her through this pregnancy, and in Your timing to grant a safe and proper delivery without complication. Lay Your healing and protecting hand upon this child, that this baby would be formed whole and healthy. Cast out all fear and anxiety and replace it with Your perfect peace that surpasses understanding. Give wisdom to the doctors and nurses who will care for her, and help her to rest in Your loving care, trusting that You are with her. We ask all of this in the mighty and saving name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
We encourage you to continue to trust the Lord each day, to rest, to care for your body as the temple He has given you, and to seek Him in prayer through Jesus continually. He who began this good work will be faithful to carry it through.
