For This Child I Pray

Disclaimer: I am not crazy for doing this. The Lord really impressed upon me to do this.

I am not sure if your hair will be like mine or like your daddy's, will your eyes be brown or hazel? Who will you look like the most. All bets are on your daddy. The Westerfield gene, they say. I am not sure when you will be created, but I already pray for you. I pray for God to guide me to be a wonderful mother, who can raise a child to serve a mighty purpose, to shine the light of Christ, through them. I pray me and your daddy will love you just like our God loves us. I pray we are good keepers of the Lord's child. I pray for you knowing you are only mine for a little while, you truly belong to our God. I pray you are given to us with a heart of gold, and a love for everyone, like no other. While I am not sure when you will come along, I have faith in the Lord, he hears my cries, he sees my sorrow, and he provides me comfort. I know he will deliver, because he is my Deliverer. So for this child, I pray. I cannot wait until you are here and I cannot wait to praise God for the true gift of becoming a mother. I praise God every day for all that I am blessed with, and do not take it for granted nor am I ungrateful for what he has already given me. Until the day I get to meet you, know you were loved before you were created.

Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for impressing this upon me to express, thank you for showing me understanding and comfort. Thank you for all the blessings of each and every day. Lord, I pray that I continue to remain in the faith of knowing you hear our prayers and they have been lifted up, and you will deliver.

In Jesus' Name,
Amen
