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 fruit 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. May their quivers be filled with the joy and blessing of children, and may they experience the fulfillment of Your promise in their lives.
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. Help them to seek Your guidance and to align their hearts with Your will. May they trust in Your provision and surrender their plans to You, knowing that You are the giver of life and the one who blesses families.
Lord, we thank You for the freedom and blessings that come through faith in Jesus Christ. We rejoice in the promise that in Christ, we are no longer children of the bondwoman, but of the free. We pray that You would pour out Your grace upon those who are seeking to honor You in their marriages and family planning. Guide them in their decisions and grant them peace and assurance as they trust in You.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
