40 Weeks
40 Weeks
Heavenly Father, here we are, standing at the threshold of a new life. This is the appointed time, yet we know You operate on Your own perfect timetable. I surrender this final waiting game to You. Ease my mind of anxiety and fill my heart with Your deep, abiding peace.
I pray for the journey ahead: for strength and endurance when the time comes, for a safe and swift delivery, and for the wisdom of the doctors and nurses. Guard this little one as they prepare to take their first breath in this world. And when they are finally placed in my arms, let the joy of that moment completely overshadow the labor that brought them here.
Thank you for this precious miracle. Help us transition into parenthood with grace, love, and tireless patience. In Your Holy name, Amen.
“The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him. It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.”
Lamentations 3:25-26
