God, you see my baby in my womb. You know my child in every detail, every muscle, every bone, every bit of my child’s beautiful body, mind, heart, and soul. No matter how my child is formed, my child is beautiful and my child is beloved by you. Grant me peace throughout this pregnancy, that I would surrender every worry or fear to you. May I take heart, knowing you have overcome the world and made a way for us to be near to you in heaven someday and on earth here now. No matter what comes, be near, Jesus. Bring comfort and peace, bring blessed assurance. In your name, Amen.
Psalm 139:13-14 ESV For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.
