We are thrilled to join you in prayer for the upcoming arrival of this precious baby boy. Let's first remember that children are a gift from God. In fact Psalm 127:3-5 tells us, Behold, children are a heritage of Yahweh. The fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man, so are the children of youth. Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them. They won’t be disappointed when they speak with their enemies in the gate.
Let's pray together. "Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, thanking You for the precious gift of this baby boy. We pray for a healthy and safe delivery, that both mother and child that can take place. We ask that You guide the doctors and nurses, and that Your hand of protection will be upon them during this time, we pray God, that You would bless this child and his parents, that they would raise him in the fear and admonition of the Lord, and that this child would come to know Jesus as his personal Lord and Savior at an early age. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."
Our concern is that the request did not specifically mention Jesus Christ, and the fact that Jesus is the reason anyone has access to God. Please understand that there is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved. There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved! But now in Christ Jesus and that is who we call the Messiah, you who were once far off are made near in the blood of Christ since you have believed the Gospel of Jesus Christ and have confessed it with your mouth. Acts 4:12. Ephesians 2:13. Romans 10:9.
We hope and pray this new child will be raised by parents that profess Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and that this child will also at an early age do the same. We pray that this new child will have a life full of the fruit of the Spirit which is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
A final thought. We are concerned that you are not the expected mother or father but are making this request and referring to the child as my and his . Are you a grandparent or friend? Please clarify your relationship in future prayers as there may be a need for specific prayers to cover the spiritual needs of the parents and this child.
