Heavenly Father,
We come before You with heavy hearts but unwavering faith, lifting up baby Theodore to Your throne of grace. Your Word tells us in Psalm 139:13-14, "For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well." Lord, we believe that Theodore is wonderfully made by Your hands, and we trust in Your divine plan for his life.
Lord, we ask for Your miraculous healing power to touch the left side of Theodore's heart. Jeremiah 32:27 says, "I am the Lord, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?" We stand on this promise, believing that nothing is too difficult for You, not even the healing of this severe heart defect.
Father, in the name of Jesus, we pray for complete and total healing for Theodore. We ask for a new, fully developed heart for this precious baby. We know that You are Jehovah Rapha, the Lord who heals, and we ask for Your healing touch upon Theodore's heart.
We also pray for peace and strength for Theodore's parents. May they feel Your comforting presence and know that You are with them every step of the way. Philippians 4:6-7 reminds us, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." We claim this peace for Theodore's family, trusting that You are in control.
Lord, we surrender to Your will, knowing that You are good and Your love endures forever. We thank You for hearing our prayers and for the gift of Theodore, whose name means "gift from God." We trust in Your power and Your plan, and we give You all the glory.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
