Lord, I pray that I would cherish this child.
This child is a gift from you!
A fruit of the womb, a reward.
You have said “yes” to our prayer and given us a gift.
Help me to nurture this child. Help me give this baby the nutrients it needs.
I confess I often use my cravings as an excuse to give my body the opposite of its needs.
I confess I sometimes become fearful and anxious.
But you have told me not to worry.
I cannot add a single hour to my life by worrying!
I cast my cares, fears and doubts onto you.
