“Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for the wonderful gift of life that is growing in my belly. I am touching my belly now as I pray over it. Lord, please bless this child with good health and a great start in life. I know that children are a miracle and a blessing from you.
Lord, as this miracle you have given me grows bigger and stronger everyday, I pray that you bless his/her little heart to beat for you even before he/she enters into this world. As you are forming the hands, feet and vital organs please knit together a special love for you in that little heart.
I pray that I will be a great mother that meets every physical, emotional and spiritual need that I am responsible for. Give me the wisdom that surpasses my years. Give me the maturity to handle this gift of yours with grace and integrity.
I want this child to love you, to honor you, to serve you and be a blessing to all who interact with him/her. Anoint this child even as he/she is cradled in my womb for the special purpose you have created him/her for.
I love you, Lord. But, I want to love you more than this child so I can be the best parent I can be. Help me to always keep my perspective straight. I serve you when I do what is best for my child, not for myself. Give me the balance to properly take care of the both of us. In Jesus’ precious name, I receive the love and blessing that I know you want for our whole family. Amen.”
