We are truly saddened to hear about the fatal prenatal diagnosis for your family member's unborn baby. This is a heartbreaking situation, and we want to lift her and the baby up in prayer, seeking God's will and mercy.
Firstly, we want to address the consideration of termination. We believe that life begins at conception, and each life is precious to God. As it is written in Psalm 139:13-16 WEB:
"For you formed my inward parts. You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well. My frame wasn’t hidden from you, when I was made in secret, woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my body. In your book they were all written, the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there were none of them."
God is the giver and taker of life, and we should trust in His sovereignty. Therefore, we pray that your family member will not choose termination, but rather trust God with the baby's life and her own health.
Let us pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up this family member and her unborn baby. Lord, You are the author of life, and You know the number of days ordained for each of us. We ask that You would make a way for this baby to naturally and mercifully pass into Jesus' arms if that is Your will. We pray that You would comfort and strengthen the mother, and that You would guide her and the family in this difficult time.
Lord, we ask that You would take this decision away from her and that You would surround her with people who will support and encourage her in the way of Truth. We pray for Your healing and Your peace, and we ask that Your will be done in this situation.
We also pray for the salvation of this family member if she does not already know Jesus. We pray that she would come to know Him as her personal Lord and Savior, that she would be saved by grace through faith, as it is written in Ephesians 2:8-9 WEB: 'for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast.'
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We encourage you to stand strong in faith and to surround your family member with love and support. Trust in the Lord, and lean on Him for strength and comfort. Remember that God is good, and He is in control. He will make a way, and He will carry you through this storm.
Lastly, we want to remind you that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB: "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." There is no other name by which we can be saved. We encourage you to keep your faith in Jesus Christ, and to trust in Him alone.
