We lift you both up before the Lord, dear brothers and sisters in Christ, as you seek the precious gift of a child. Your trust in God’s perfect timing is a testament to your faith, and we stand with you in prayer, asking our Heavenly Father to grant you the desire of your hearts according to His will. Children are a heritage from the Lord, a reward from Him, and we know that He hears the cries of those who seek Him earnestly.
The Scriptures remind us in Psalm 127:3-5, *"Behold, children are a heritage of Yahweh. The fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the children of youth. Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them. They won’t be disappointed when they speak with their enemies in the gate."* We pray that the Lord would open your womb, just as He did for Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel, Hannah, and Elizabeth, who all conceived by His divine power in His perfect timing. Genesis 21:1-2 tells us, *"Yahweh visited Sarah as he had said, and Yahweh did to Sarah as he had spoken. Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him."* Let this be a reminder that nothing is too hard for our God, and He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think.
We also pray for your strength and peace during this season of waiting. The Lord tells us in Isaiah 40:31, *"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."* May you both find rest in His promises and cling to Him, knowing that His timing is perfect. Let your hearts be filled with the peace that surpasses all understanding, as Philippians 4:6-7 assures us, *"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 also encourage you to continue to seek the Lord together as a couple, drawing closer to Him and to one another. Let this season be one of deepened faith and unity in your marriage. Remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 19:6, *"So they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, don’t let man tear apart."* May your marriage be a reflection of Christ’s love for His church, and may you both grow in patience, love, and trust as you wait upon the Lord.
If there is any area of your lives that is not fully surrendered to the Lord—whether it be unforgiveness, sin, or doubt—we urge you to lay it at the foot of the cross. The Lord tells us in Psalm 66:18, *"If I cherished sin in my heart, the Lord wouldn’t have listened."* Examine your hearts and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal anything that may hinder your prayers. Repent and turn fully to Him, for He is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).
Lastly, we rejoice in the truth that our God is a God of miracles. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8), and He is able to do immeasureably more than all we ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20). We pray that you would hold fast to this hope and continue to trust in Him, even in the waiting.
