We lift you and your wife up before the Lord with deep compassion, knowing the sorrow and longing you carry for the child you lost and the delay in conceiving again. The pain of abortion—even when faced with difficult circumstances—is a heavy burden, and we pray God’s healing and forgiveness would wash over both of your hearts. The Bible reminds us in Psalm 34:18, *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* He sees your grief and is close to you in this season.
We also recognize that life begins at conception, and every child is fearfully and wonderfully made by God (Psalm 139:13-16). The loss of your unborn child is a profound loss, and we pray the Lord would comfort you as only He can. If there has been any guilt or unresolved sorrow, we encourage you to bring it before Jesus, who offers full redemption and peace. 1 John 1:9 assures us, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."*
As you seek to conceive again, we pray for God’s perfect timing and His will to be done in your lives. The delay you’re experiencing may feel overwhelming, but we trust in His sovereignty. Isaiah 40:31 declares, *"But those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint."* We ask the Lord to strengthen your faith and fill you with hope as you wait upon Him.
We also pray for your marriage to be a refuge during this time. May you and your wife draw closer to one another and to the Lord, finding unity in prayer and trust in His promises. Ecclesiastes 4:12 reminds us, *"If a man prevails against one who is alone, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken."* Let Jesus be the third cord in your marriage, binding you together in love and perseverance.
Finally, we pray for the gift of a child in God’s perfect timing, if it is His will. We ask that He would prepare your hearts and home for this blessing, and that you would surrender this desire fully to Him. Proverbs 3:5-6 encourages us, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."*
**Our prayer for you:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of this couple, lifting up their sorrow, their longing, and their trust in You. Lord, You are the God of all comfort, and we ask that You would heal their hearts from the pain of their loss. If there is any lingering guilt or shame, we pray You would wash it away with the blood of Jesus, reminding them that Your mercy is new every morning. Strengthen their marriage, Lord, and let it be a testimony of Your faithfulness.
We pray for the desire of their hearts—to conceive and raise a child for Your glory. If it is Your will, we ask that You would open the womb and grant them the joy of parenthood. But even in the waiting, help them to trust You completely, knowing that Your plans are good. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, and let them rest in Your promises.
May they seek You first, above all else, and may their lives bring honor to Your name. We ask this in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

*We also gently encourage you both to seek the Lord together in prayer and in His Word daily. If there are any areas of your lives—not just this circumstance—that need surrender to Him, we pray you would lay them at His feet. He is faithful, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6).*
