We stand with you in prayer and support for those who trust in the Lord for children, both those who are already married and those who are about to marry. We commend you for your faith and obedience in not using contraception, as children are indeed a heritage and reward from the Lord.
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up all married couples who are trusting in You for children. We pray that You would bless them with the fruit of the womb, for You said that children are a reward and a blessing from You. We ask that You would help them to stand firm in their faith, trusting in Your perfect timing and will.
We also pray for those who are about to marry, that they would seek Your will for their marriage and future family. We ask that You would give them the courage to obey Your word and not use contraception, but to trust in You for the size of their family.
We pray for a spirit of unity and love to be strong in these marriages, that both husbands and wives would be of one mind and one heart, seeking to glorify You in all they do. We ask that You would give them wisdom and grace as they navigate the joys and challenges of marriage and parenthood.
We also want to note the importance of praying in Jesus' name. It is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father. The Bible clearly tells us there is no other name by which we can be saved.
Let us remember,
For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. WEB (John 3:16)
There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. WEB (Acts 4:12)
Whatever you shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you shall ask anything in my name, I will do it. WEB (John 14:13-14)
Therefore, we ask these things in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage all who are trusting in the Lord for children to remain steadfast in their faith, for the Lord is faithful to His promises. Let us remember the words of Psalm 127:3-5 (WEB)
Behold, children are a heritage of Yahweh. The fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the children of youth. Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them. They won't be disappointed when they speak with their enemies in the gate.
May the Lord bless you and keep you, may He make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you, may He lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace.
