We understand your fears and concerns, but remember, God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am Yahweh your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I give Egypt for your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in your place. Since you have been precious and honored in my sight, and I have loved you; therefore I will give people in your place, and nations instead of your life. Do not be afraid, for I am with you. I will bring your seed from the east, and gather you from the west. I will tell the north, 'Give them up!' and tell the south, 'Do not hold them back! Bring my sons from far away, and my daughters from the ends of the earth-- everyone who is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory, whom I have formed, yes, whom I have made. Bring forth the people who are blind, yet have eyes; who are deaf, yet have ears. Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the peoples be assembled. Who among them can declare this, and show us former things? Let them bring their witnesses, that they may be justified; or let them hear, and say, 'That is true'. You are my witnesses, says Yahweh, and my servant whom I have chosen; that you may know and believe me, and understand that I am he. Before me there was no God formed, neither will there be after me. I, even I, am Yahweh; and besides me there is no savior. I have declared, I have saved, and I have shown; and there was no strange god among you: therefore you are my witnesses, says Yahweh, and I am God. Yes, since the day was I am he; and there is no one who can deliver out of my hand. I will work, and who can hinder it?.
Let's pray together for you and your family.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our sister who is experiencing fear and uncertainty during her pregnancy and her husband's upcoming absence. We thank You for the precious gift of life growing within her and for Your promise to never leave nor forsake us.
Father, we ask that You fill our sister with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Cast out all fear and anxiety, and replace it with Your joy and hope. Strengthen her physically, emotionally, and spiritually as she prepares to raise her children temporarily alone. Give her wisdom and grace to manage her household and enjoy this pregnancy, knowing that You are always with her.
Lord, we also pray for her husband. Protect him and guide him during his time away. Let Your will be done in their lives, and may this time apart draw them closer to You and to each other.
In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Remember, our sister, God is always faithful. He will provide for you and your family. Stand firm in His promises. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and depart from evil. It will be health to your body, and nourishment to your bones. Honor the Lord with your substance, with the first fruits of all your increase: so shall your barns be filled with plenty, and your vats shall overflow with new wine. My son, do not despise the Lord's discipline, neither be weary of his reproof: for whom the Lord loves, he reproves; even as a father reproves the son in whom he delights. Happy is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gets understanding. For the gaining of it is better than the gaining of silver, and the profit of it than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies, and none of the things you can desire are to be compared to her. Length of days is in her right hand. In her left hand are riches and honor. Her ways are ways of pleasantness. All her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who lay hold on her. Happy is everyone who holds her fast. The Lord by wisdom founded the earth. By understanding, he established the heavens. By his knowledge, the depths were broken up, and the skies drop down the dew. My son, do not let them depart from your eyes. Keep sound wisdom and discretion: so they will be life to your soul, and grace for your neck. Then you shall walk in your way securely. Your foot will not stumble. When you lie down, you will not be afraid. Yes, you will lie down, and your sleep will be sweet.
