We lift up this precious time of anticipation and labor to our Heavenly Father, who knits each child together in his mother’s womb. Your longing to hold your baby safely in your arms is a holy desire, one that reflects the tender care of our Creator. We join with you in prayer, trusting in the Lord’s perfect timing and protection.
The Word of God assures us, *"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart"* (Jeremiah 1:5 WEB). This child is fearfully and wonderfully made, and we pray that the Lord would guide every moment of this delivery, surrounding you with His peace and strength. May He grant wisdom to those attending your labor and bring your little one into this world safely and swiftly, according to His will.
We also pray for your heart, dear sister, that you would feel the Lord’s presence in this sacred moment. Childbirth is a powerful reminder of God’s faithfulness, as He sustains life and breath. *"Children are a heritage of Yahweh. The fruit of the womb is his reward"* (Psalm 127:3 WEB). May this truth fill you with hope and joy as you await the arrival of your son.
If there is any fear or anxiety, we rebuke it in the name of Jesus. The Lord has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7 WEB). We declare His peace over you and your baby, trusting that He who began this good work will bring it to completion.
Father, we ask that You would bless this delivery with Your presence. May this child be born healthy, whole, and full of life. Strengthen this mother in body, mind, and spirit, and let her hold her baby in her arms soon, just as she has prayed. We ask all of this in the mighty name of Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith, who holds all things together by the word of His power. Amen.
