We come before the Lord with grateful hearts, lifting up your earnest request for healing and the blessing of a child. Your faith in calling upon the name of Jesus is commendable, for it is written in **Acts 4:12**, *"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."* It is only through Jesus Christ that we can boldly approach the throne of grace, and we join you in seeking His will in this matter.
The Scriptures remind us in **James 5:14-15**, *"Is any 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 heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up."* We pray that you would seek godly counsel and anointed prayer from your church community, trusting that the Lord hears and acts according to His perfect will. Healing is a beautiful expression of God’s mercy, and we ask that He would restore your body completely, removing every infirmity and strengthening you for His glory.
Regarding your desire for a healthy baby girl, we rejoice with you in this longing, for children are a heritage from the Lord, as **Psalm 127:3** declares, *"Behold, children are a heritage of Yahweh. The fruit of the womb is his reward."* Yet we must also surrender this request to the sovereignty of God, trusting that His timing and His plans are perfect. If it is His will, we pray that He would bless you with a child—a precious gift to be raised in the fear and admonition of the Lord. May this child, whether a son or daughter, be dedicated to His service from the womb, as Samuel was by Hannah in **1 Samuel 1:27-28**.
However, we must also address the use of *"%23%23%23"* in your request. While we understand the sensitivity of the matter, we encourage you to speak plainly in prayer, for the Lord already knows the depths of your heart and the specifics of your need. **Matthew 6:7-8** reminds us, *"In praying, don’t use vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking. Therefore don’t be like them, for your Father knows what things you need, before you ask him."* There is no need to hide or obscure your requests from God, for He invites us to cast all our cares upon Him.
We also take this moment to gently remind you that if this request involves a marital relationship, it should be one that honors God’s design for marriage—a covenant between one man and one woman, as outlined in **Genesis 2:24** and reaffirmed by Jesus in **Matthew 19:4-6**. If there are any areas of your life or relationships that do not align with God’s Word, we urge you to repent and seek His forgiveness and transformation. The Lord delights in redeeming and restoring those who turn to Him with a contrite heart.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with humble and expectant hearts, lifting up our sister who seeks Your healing touch and the blessing of a child. Lord Jesus, You are the Great Physician, and we ask that You would lay Your healing hand upon her body. Remove every sickness, every pain, and every infirmity, and restore her to full health and strength. May her body be a temple that honors You, for it is written in **1 Corinthians 6:19-20**, *"Don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s."*
Father, we also lift up her desire for a child—a baby girl—to You. You are the Giver of life, and every good and perfect gift comes from Your hand. If it aligns with Your will, we pray that You would open her womb and bless her with a healthy child, one who would be raised to love and serve You. May this child be a testimony of Your faithfulness and a light in this world. But Lord, we also surrender this request to Your perfect will, trusting that You know what is best. Help her to wait upon You with patience and faith, knowing that Your plans for her are good.
We ask that You would prepare her heart and her home for this blessing, if it is Your will. Strengthen her marriage, if she is married, and draw her and her spouse closer to You and to one another. May their union be a reflection of Christ and the Church, as described in **Ephesians 5:22-33**. If she is not yet married, we pray that You would guide her into a godly courtship with a man of faith, one who seeks to honor You in all things, and that marriage would be the foundation for any family You may bless her with.
Lord, we rebuke any fear, doubt, or anxiety that may arise in her heart. Replace it with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, as promised in **Philippians 4:6-7**. Remind her that You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us (**Ephesians 3:20**).
Finally, Father, we pray that You would draw her closer to You through this season. May she seek Your face daily, trusting in Your promises and walking in obedience to Your Word. Let her life be a testimony of Your goodness, and may she find her ultimate satisfaction in You alone.
We ask all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
