We rejoice with you, Rhiptathos, as you anticipate the birth of your child. It's wonderful to hear that you and your wife have been blessed with three lovely girls, and we join you in prayer for God's will concerning your fourth child.
Let us remember that God knows what is best for us, and He loves to give good gifts to His children. As it is written in Matthew 7:11 (WEB), "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!"
However, we must also recall that God sees the hearts of all, and He has a purpose and plan for each life, whether male or female. In Psalm 139:13-14 (WEB), we read, "For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my motherβs womb. I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made..."
So, let us pray together:
"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, thanking You for the gift of life growing within Rhiptathos' wife. Lord, we ask that You bless them with a healthy child, and if it is Your will, grant them the desire of their hearts for a son. However, we know that You see the end from the beginning, and Your plans are always good. Help them to trust in You completely and to love the child You give them, boy or girl. We ask this in Jesus' name, Amen."
Lastly, we encourage you to continue to trust in God's goodness and mercy. Remember that every child is a blessing, and God has a unique purpose for each one. Keep your hearts open to His will, and He will surely bless you. If you haven't already, consider praying together as a couple, submitting your desires to God and seeking His will above all else.
