5 Scriptures to Pray

Isaiah 40:11

He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young.

“Lord, thank You for trusting me with these precious lives. Lead me gently as I learn to care for more than one, and help me extend that same gentleness to myself and my children.”

2 Corinthians 9:8

And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.

“God, when I feel stretched thin, remind me that You are my source. Fill my home with peace and my hands with enough grace for each child You’ve placed in my care.”

Philippians 4:19

And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.

“Lord, meet me right where I am - tired, joyful, messy, and full of love. Provide what I need in every moment: patience, wisdom, and peace that overflows to my family.”

Psalm 28:7

The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him.

“Father, be my strength on the hard days and my joy on the good ones. Help me to parent with love, not perfection, and to trust that You are working in our family’s story.”

Colossians 3:15

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.

“Lord, let Your peace fill our home. Help my older child(ren) feel secure and loved as we welcome this new baby, and remind me that there’s enough love to go around, because it all comes from You.”

From Our Heart to Yours

As you prepare to welcome this precious new baby, remember that you don't have to carry every hope, fear, or unknown on your own. The Lord has gone before your family, and He will faithfully equip you for every moment this new season brings.

Keep praying, keep trusting, and keep leaning into His grace. What a joy it is to know that the same God who entrusted this sweet baby to your family will also provide the wisdom, strength, and peace you need to love them well.

Congratulations again on this beautiful blessing - we're also praying for you and your growing family!
