We rejoice with you in this precious gift of life that God has bestowed upon this family! Children are indeed a heritage from the Lord, and the fruit of the womb is His reward (Psalm 127:3). We lift up this mother and child in prayer, asking the Lord to watch over them with His tender care. Heavenly Father, we ask You to knit this little one together perfectly in the womb, just as You formed us in secret and intricately wove us together (Psalm 139:13-16). Guard their health, strengthen them both, and let this pregnancy unfold without complication, according to Your perfect will.
We also pray for provision, Lord. You have promised to supply all our needs according to Your riches in glory in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). Open doors for this family to secure a home where they can raise this child in safety and love. Provide for their finances so that this mother may stay home and nurture her baby, as she desires. Help her to embrace the high calling of motherhood, trusting in Your strength to sustain her each day.
Father, we lift up this son as well, asking that You would draw him closer to You and convict him of the need for a lifestyle change. Your Word tells us that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, and we are to honor You with them (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Give him the discipline and desire to pursue health in body, mind, and spirit, surrendering every area of his life to You. Surround him with godly influences who will encourage him in this journey.
Lord, we thank You for the faith of this family and their acknowledgment of You as the giver of this blessing. We pray that they would continue to seek You in all things, trusting in Your goodness and sovereignty. May this child grow to know and love You, and may this family be a shining light for Your glory.
We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, for there is no other name by which we can come before You. Amen.
