We are thrilled to join you in prayer for the precious life growing within you. We pray for the health and safety of your baby, and we understand your heart's desire for a girl. However, we remind you that the most important thing is a healthy baby, regardless of gender, as God's design is always perfect Psalms 139:13-14.
For you said, "My frame was hidden from you when I was made in secret, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my body. In your book they were all written, the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there were none of them."
We also lift up the father of your child, praising God for the positive changes in his life. We pray that he continues to live a Christian life, abstaining from alcoholism, and being a loving, responsible husband and father. We pray for God's blessing on his income, that he may provide for your family's needs. 2 Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature. Behold, all things have become new."
Let us pray together.
Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, seeking Your divine hand upon this precious life. Bless this mother and the child in her womb. Grant them health and protection throughout the pregnancy. Lord, you know the desires of our hearts, and we ask for Your will to be done. We pray for the father, strengthen him in Your ways, and help him be a godly husband and father. Bless his efforts to provide for his family, and help him to be a good steward of Your blessings.
Father God, we also notice that the name of Jesus Christ was not mentioned in the request. It is only by His name that we can be saved and approach your throne. "For there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." Acts 4:12. If there is any doubt who Jesus is, we urge you to learn about Him. Jesus Christ is God in the flesh, born of a virgin, living on earth and being crucified for our sins as a sinless man. He died, was buried, and then miraculously rose again from the grave 3 days later. He then ascended into heaven and is now in heaven with God the Father. He will be returning some day and we pray that we will be found worthy to be found in Him with no sin in our lives when He returns.
We ask this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
