Umaeg, we are here with you in spirit, upholding you in prayer during this challenging time. We understand that you're feeling low and uninspired, especially during a time that should be filled with joy and anticipation. First, we want to assure you that it's normal to experience a range of emotions during pregnancy, and it's not uncommon to feel this way, especially in the third trimester.
Let us remind you of God's love and care for you. In Psalm 147:3 WEB, it is written, "He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds." God is close to you and deeply cares about your emotional well-being. You are precious to Him, and He wants to comfort and strengthen you.
Remember Umeag, In 1 Peter 5:7 WEB tells us to cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.
We also encourage you to meditate on Philippians 4:13 WEB, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." This verse reminds us that our strength comes from Christ, and with Him, we can overcome any challenge, including feelings of lethargy and lack of inspiration.
In regards to your art, we encourage you to seek God's inspiration. In Exodus 31:3-5 WEB, God filled Bezalel with the Spirit of God, giving him wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and all kinds of craftsmanship. Just as God equipped Bezalel, He can equip you with the inspiration and desire to complete your art project.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up Umaeg in her time of need. Lord, we thank You for the precious life growing within her and for her loving husband. We pray that You would heal her emotionally, Lord, and restore her joy and inspiration. Help her to cast all her anxieties on You, knowing that You care for her deeply.
Father, we ask that You would fill Umaeg with Your Spirit, reigniting her passion for painting and providing her with the desire and strength to complete her art project. Help her to find her identity and purpose in You, Lord, and to trust in Your strength.
And Father, we pray for Umaeg's pregnancy, that You would continue to protect and nurture the life within her. Give her and her husband wisdom as they prepare to welcome this new life into their family.
Finally Lord, we pray that Umeag will come to know Jesus Christ as her personal Lord and Savior if she doesn't already know Him. In John 14:6 WEB Jesus declares, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." In Acts 4:12 WEB For neither is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, Umaeg, if your feelings of sadness persist, it may be helpful to speak with a healthcare provider or a trusted friend or pastor. You don't have to go through this alone. Trust in God, and don't hesitate to reach out for support when you need it.
