​A Prayer for Expecting Mothers

3/18/2022

6 Comments

 
As I approach my 3rd trimester #God has been pricking my heart constantly. Everything in life seems somehow heavier. Not harder, necessarily, just more important. My daily habits--the working out of my #faith--will soon affect a brand-new little life that God has entrusted to me. This realization opened my eyes to the reality of my faith in a world that will try to teach my #child so many things that oppose that faith. God has pushed my heart toward #prayer more in these recent months than ever.
As I approach the beginning of my third trimester, God has been pricking my heart constantly. Everything in my life seems somehow heavier. Not harder, necessarily, just more important.

My daily habits—the working out of my faith in my life—will soon affect a brand-new little life that God has entrusted to me and my husband. 

This realization has opened my eyes to the reality of my faith in a world that will try to teach my child so many things that oppose that faith.

Who can I turn to in order to find what I need to become a good and faithful mother? The answer is simple: my heavenly Father.

​God has pushed my heart toward prayer more in these recent months than ever before.

The prayer below is the petition coming from my heart right now. If you, or someone you know, are an expecting mother, or even an established mother feeling in need of God’s wisdom, peace, and comfort, maybe my heart’s prayer can help you express to our Father the desires of your heart.
Heavenly Father, you are the ultimate example of love, parenting, and wisdom. I am so thankful that I am beginning this journey into motherhood with your guiding presence and counsel. Teach me, Lord, to seek your wisdom each day.
 
I pray now, Father, for my unborn child. Please accomplish your will in my child’s life. Give me the faith I need to surrender my child’s future into your hands instead of my own. I know that this little life is far more secure in your care than in mine.

​Thank you for giving us this precious gift. Please prepare my heart, mind, and body for motherhood. Grant your peace when fear clouds my mind. When I am weak, please be my strength. Be glorified in this journey, I pray.
 
Help me to trust you through all of the unknowns I will face. Remind me of your constant, abiding presence, that I might find comfort in knowing that you see every tear, hear every yawn, and understand every heartache. No disappointment, exhaustion, pain, or fear I will face will be unknown to you. You are my rock, my shelter, and my salvation.
 
Draw me closer to you and to my husband as we begin parenthood together. Help us love each other more as our roles change and our lives become bigger in so many ways. As our knowledge and hearts expand, guide us in how to show our love to you, to each other, and to our child.

​Teach us always to put you first in our lives as our family grows. Keep our focus on loving and serving you, that we might build a family dedicated to your will. Be glorified, dear Father, in our lives and in the life of our precious little one.

Thank you for your love and for creating this new life. 

Amen.
Cami
