As week 36 approaches, please join me in this prayer for Lana's upcoming Birth Day.
Dear Abba,
Thank you for choosing Chris and I to bestow the blessing of this coming child. Thank you that she is fearfully and wonderfully made. We trust your timing for her arrival and for her safe and gentle passage into our arms. We are confident in the ultimate normalcy of birth, the design of the woman's body and trust baby and body to do what our minds cannot fathom.
We respect Your design for pregnancy and birth. Thank you that I am fearfully and wonderfully made to carry this unique and special baby girl and that my body was created to birth her. I ask for a gentle passage through the gate she will pass. I also ask for the instinctual wisdom and persistence in nurturing and nursing Lana. I accept Your calling of sacrifice of hard work during labor and birth without chemical means. I pray that the mental and emotional preparation will merge with spiritual preparation so that I can be at peace and focus on trusting you--the Creator of life in Your wisdom and plan for this child and this birth. I ask that my body open to the fullness of time under Your strength and my heart be turned to Lana in the perfection of Your love.
Please bless the hands of our midwives, Michelle and Debi. Thank you for their midwifery wisdom, support, comfort and guidance in this process as well as their presence and godly spirit.
Thank you for Chris, my husband, my best friend, my coach, who has supported me throughout pregnancy and will be my leaning post during labor. Give him hands and heart to know how to assist me during labor as coach. Thank you for the loving and godly father he will be to Lana and for the preparation of a daddy's tender heart for loving a little girl.
I rest in knowing You have been birthing babies for 6000 years and that life is your specialty. I trust You and surrender my own plans, even my hopes, to Your will.
In Jesus's name,
Amen.
