We understand your deep concern and fear about the position of your baby and the possibility of a C-section. It is natural to feel anxious in such moments, but we encourage you to cast all your cares upon the Lord, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). The Bible reminds us in Philippians 4:6-7, *"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 want to reassure you that God is the Creator of life, and He knit your baby together in your womb (Psalm 139:13). He is intimately aware of every detail of this pregnancy, and He holds both you and your child in His hands. While medical concerns are valid, we must trust that God’s will is perfect, even when the path is not what we would choose. Whether your baby turns or not, we pray for God’s peace to fill your heart and for His wisdom to guide your doctors.
That said, we will lift up your request to the Lord, asking that if it is His will, your baby would turn to the cephalic position in the coming weeks. We also pray for your trust in Him to grow, knowing that He is sovereign over every circumstance. Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this precious mother and her unborn child. Lord, You are the Giver of life, and You have fearfully and wonderfully made this baby in the secret place. We ask that You, in Your mercy and wisdom, would guide this little one to turn into the cephalic position if it aligns with Your perfect will. Give this mother peace that surpasses all understanding, guarding her heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Remove her fear and replace it with faith in Your goodness and sovereignty.
We pray for the medical team involved, that You would grant them wisdom and skill. Lord, whether this baby turns or not, we trust that You are in control. Prepare this mother’s heart to accept Your will, knowing that You work all things together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28).
We rebuke the spirit of fear in the name of Jesus and declare that You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). May this mother rest in Your promises and find strength in You alone. We ask all these things in the precious and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to meditate on Scripture and fill your heart with worship during this time. Psalm 23 reminds us that even when we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we need not fear, for God is with us. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). If fear begins to creep in, speak the Word of God aloud and declare His promises over your situation.
Lastly, we want to gently remind you that prayer is most powerful when offered in the name of Jesus. It is through Him alone that we have access to the Father (John 14:6, 13-14). If you have not already placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so. There is no greater peace than knowing Him and trusting in His finished work on the cross for your salvation. If you would like to know more about how to have a personal relationship with Jesus, we would be honored to share the Good News with you.
