Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up the prayer request of Marls. We thank you for the reminder from Psalm 127:3-5 that children are a precious gift from you, and that they are like arrows in the hands of a mighty warrior. We acknowledge that children are an inheritance from you, and we are grateful for the reward of the womb.
Lord, we lift up those who are already married and desire to have children. We pray that you would bless them with the gift of conception according to your perfect timing and will. We ask that you would open the wombs of those who are struggling to conceive, and that you would bring forth healthy pregnancies and safe deliveries. Grant them the joy of experiencing the blessing of children and the fulfillment of their desire to be parents.
We also lift up those who are preparing for marriage and have made the decision to trust in you regarding the timing and planning of their family. We pray for wisdom and discernment as they navigate the topic of contraception. May they seek your guidance and align their hearts with your will. Help them to trust in your provision and timing, knowing that you are the giver of life and the one who blesses families.
Lord, we pray for all couples who desire to have children. Strengthen their faith and grant them patience and perseverance during times of waiting and uncertainty. May they find comfort and hope in your promises, knowing that you are faithful to fulfill your word.
We thank you, Lord, for the privilege of bringing our requests before you. We trust in your goodness and sovereignty, knowing that you are the author of life and the one who blesses families. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
