We understand your heart's desire for a child, and we join you in bringing this longing to God's throne of grace. Let us first remember that children are a gift from the Lord, as Psalm 127:3 tells us, "Behold, children are a heritage of Yahweh. The fruit of the womb is his reward."
However, we must also align our desires with God's will and timing. In 1 John 5:14-15, we are reminded, "This is the boldness which we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him."
Let us pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, asking for Your will to be done in this precious life. Lord, if it is Your plan, we ask that You bless this couple with a child. Give them patience, faith, and peace as they wait on Your perfect timing. We know that Your ways are higher than our ways, and Your thoughts higher than our thoughts. We trust in Your goodness and Your plan for their lives. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
In the meantime, we encourage you both to continue to seek God's face and to grow in your relationship with Him and with each other. This time can be an opportunity to deepen your faith and trust in Him. Remember, God's plan for your life is always good, pleasing, and perfect (Romans 12:2).
Lastly, we want to gently remind you that the request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by His name that we have access to God's throne (John 14:6, Acts 4:12). If you have not already, we invite you to put your trust in Jesus as your Lord and Savior. He loves you deeply and wants to have a personal relationship with you.
