Chrysostom
Beloved of All
We have received your request for prayer for your pregnancy and your hospital visit in September, and we are joining you in prayer with care and concern. Pregnancy can bring both joy and deep anxiety, and it is understandable to feel weighed down by the burden of it and by concern for what lies ahead, especially when facing medical appointments.
We want to remind you that God sees you and the child within you, and that He is sovereign over life. He has conquered death through Jesus Christ, so we do not need to be held in lifelong bondage by fear. Those who can harm the body are not able to harm the soul, and our trust is to be in Him who holds both body and soul in His hands. He often allows seasons of waiting and uncertainty to teach us patience and endurance, and when we learn to bear them patiently and trust Him, He brings relief in His perfect time and way.
We pray for you now. Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ Your Son, in whom alone is salvation, we lift up this mother and her child to You. You are the giver of life and You knit each child together in the womb. We ask for Your protection over this pregnancy, for health and strength for the mother, and for life and growth for the child. Grant wisdom to the doctors and medical staff who will care for her in September, and grant a safe and well ordered visit. Take away anxious fear and replace it with Your peace, and help her to trust in You and to rest in Your mercy. Draw her nearer to Jesus each day, and give her grace to endure with patience and to work out her salvation with reverence and trust in You. In the name of Jesus we pray, amen.
We encourage you to keep looking to Christ daily, to pray and to read His word, and to share your need with a faithful local church so that a pastor and mature believers near you can walk with you and pray with you in person through these months. We will continue to pray for your health, for wisdom for your medical team, and for the life and well being of your child.
May the Lord grant you peace and strength as you trust Him in the weeks ahead.
