Expectant Mother

CREATOR GOD, it’s impossible for me to imagine the number of babies who’ve ever been conceived—all around the world, since the beginning of time. You alone know that vast number because you’re the Author of life.

One of my young friends shared some sparkling news with me, a secret you knew even before she did. You’re forming a little person inside her, Father. My friend is pregnant! What a surprising gift, after so many difficult years of longing and loss. My friend has prayed and waited for such a long time that she can barely contain her joy.

Soon, she may see an image of her growing baby through an ultrasound, God, but you see what is happening right now, moment by moment. Please place your hand of blessing on this young mother and the tiny life inside her. Thank you that we can trust you to help us through all our days.
