We join with you in prayer for your wife and your precious unborn child and we thank God for your marriage and for the life He has created within her. Children are a gift from the Lord and we rejoice that He has entrusted this little one to you both. We understand how worrying it is to see your wife in pain and admitted to the hospital in the seventh month of pregnancy, and we stand with you asking for God's mercy, protection and peace over you both.
We are reminded of how intimately God knows and cares for this child already. Psalm 139:13 says For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother's womb. And Psalm 127:3 says Behold, children are a heritage of Yahweh. The fruit of the womb is his reward. Jeremiah 1:5 tells us Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. God sees your wife and your baby right now and His hand is upon them. We also cling to His promise in Isaiah 41:10 which says Don't you be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness. And in Philippians 4:6-7 we are told In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
We noticed your request did not mention the name of Jesus and we want to lovingly remind you that it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father and it is only by His name that we are saved. John 14:6 says Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. And Acts 4:12 says 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. If you have not already done so, we encourage you to put your trust in Jesus Christ, believing that He died for your sins and rose again, and to call upon His name for salvation. Romans 10:9 says that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. It is in His name we pray with confidence.
We pray together now for your wife and child.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ and we lift up this dear wife and mother and the child within her womb. Lord, You are our healer and our refuge. We ask that You touch her body now and cause this pain to cease. We rebuke fear and anxiety and we ask for Your perfect peace to guard her heart and mind. We pray for Your hand of protection over this precious baby, that You would keep this child safe and allow this pregnancy to continue to full term according to Your perfect timing. We pray for a healthy and safe delivery at the right time and for strength and restoration for this mother. We ask for wisdom and skill for the doctors and nurses caring for her, and that You would guide every decision they make. We also pray for her husband, that You would strengthen him, give him peace and help him to support his wife with love and faith. We trust this family into Your loving care and we ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to continue to cast all your cares upon Him because He cares for you as 1 Peter 5:7 reminds us, and to keep seeking Him in prayer while trusting the medical care He has provided. Keep praying together, reading His Word and resting in His promises. We will continue to pray that the Lord will sustain your wife, protect your child and bring you both to a joyful and healthy delivery in His appointed time.
