We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting you both up in this season of grief and longing. The pain of miscarriage is deep, and the strain of distance only adds to the weight you carry. We mourn with you, for Scripture tells us, *"Weep with those who weep"* (Romans 12:15), and we stand with you in this sorrow. Yet we also hold fast to the hope we have in Christ, for He is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18).
First, we must address the foundation of your relationship. You mention being in a long-distance relationship, but you also refer to this man as your husband. If you are not legally and biblically married, we must rebuke the sin of fornication. The Bible is clear: *"Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge"* (Hebrews 13:4). If you are not married, we urge you to repent and either pursue marriage with godly haste or separate until you can do so in a way that honors the Lord. If you are married, we pray for strength and unity in your marriage, that you would cling to one another and to Christ in this trial.
We also lift up your desire for a child. Children are a heritage from the Lord (Psalm 127:3), and it is right to bring this longing before Him. Yet we must also surrender this desire to His will, trusting that He knows what is best for you. The loss you have experienced is real, and we pray for healing—not just for your bodies, but for your hearts. May the God of all comfort (2 Corinthians 1:3-4) draw near to you and remind you of His faithfulness, even in the waiting.
For your upcoming trip, we pray for smooth processes, favor with authorities, and safe travels. May the Lord go before you and behind you, making your path straight (Isaiah 45:2). We also pray for your husband, that he would be a godly leader, providing for and cherishing you as Christ does the Church (Ephesians 5:25).
Above all, we pray that you would fix your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). He alone can carry you through this valley. If you have not placed your trust in Him, we urge you to do so today. There is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through Christ that we have access to the Father (Ephesians 2:18). Turn to Him, repent of any sin, and receive His grace.
Heavenly Father, we lift this dear couple to You. Comfort them in their grief, bind up their wounds, and draw them closer to You and to one another. Heal their hearts and their bodies, Lord. If it is Your will, bless them with a child in Your perfect timing. Strengthen their marriage, or if they are not married, convict them of the need to honor You in their relationship. Guide them through this season of waiting and distance, and let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen.
