Prayer for My Child

Monica is 15 weeks along in her pregnancy and we have our second doctor's appointment today. I was thinking last night to pray for the baby. I can't believe that I haven't made that a regular routine until now. I have definitely been pondering parenthood a whole lot more lately. And I plan to bathe this baby in prayer constantly from here on out.

Dear Heavenly Father,

God, You are the God of Creation. You are the Author of Life. You have already numbered the hairs on my baby's head. Today I want to lift up my unborn child. I pray that the baby is healthy and developing normally. I pray for a safe pregnancy for Monica. Bless my wife and Baby, Lord. And bless me to be the best daddy. I pray that You always be the center of our lives, Good and Gentle Jesus.

This child will know you as his or her Savior. Our relationship with you will always be the centerpiece, the focus of our lives. Thank You Lord for this Baby. Thank You for my family.

You are an awesome God, a great big God...! And I love You, my King...! I give this day to You, Lord. In Jesus' name I Pray, AMEN.
