Heavenly Father,
We come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this couple to Your throne of grace during this time of grief, sadness, and loss. Lord, You know their pain and the sorrow they are carrying over the loss of their unborn baby. Your Word reminds us in Psalm 34:18 that You are close to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit. We pray that Your comforting presence surrounds this couple and brings them peace in their mourning.
Father, we lift up this wife, who is deeply grieving. Wrap her in Your arms of love, and remind her of Your faithfulness and compassion. In Matthew 5:4, You promise, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” Let her feel that comfort now, Lord. Heal her heart and spirit, and grant her the strength to face each new day with hope. Protect her from the weight of depression and sadness, and replace those feelings with the peace that only You can provide (Philippians 4:7).
Lord, we pray over her womb and their future together. You are the giver of life and the One who knows the plans You have for them (Jeremiah 29:11). We ask for Your blessings over her body, that in Your perfect time and will, they may be able to conceive and bring forth children. Remind them that You make all things beautiful in Your time (Ecclesiastes 3:11), and that nothing is impossible with You (Luke 1:37).
We also lift up this husband, Lord, who deeply loves his wife and regrets causing her pain during this difficult time. Grant him wisdom, patience, and understanding as he supports her through her grief. Help her to see his love and repentance, and restore unity and peace in their relationship. Your Word says in Colossians 3:13, “Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” May forgiveness flow freely between them, drawing them closer together and strengthening their bond.
Father, we ask for Your blessings over this couple’s faith. Keep them steadfast in their trust in You, even in the midst of pain and uncertainty. Let them feel Your presence in their lives, reminding them of the hope and promises found in Jesus Christ. Encourage them with Your words in Isaiah 40:31: “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”
Lord, surround them with Your love and bring people into their lives who can encourage and support them in this season. May their story be one of healing, faith, and hope, and may they find comfort in knowing that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28).
We place their grief, their future, and their marriage into Your hands, trusting in Your perfect will. Thank You for being their refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
