General Prayer

Lord Jesus, thank you for my blessings, my wonderful family whom I love so dearly, how you have provided for us, and how you have revealed yourself to me so that we may have the intimate relationship that we share.

I pray that you would be with [my wife] as she carries this baby.  Please keep her and the baby healthy, and please minimize [my wife]’s discomfort throughout her pregnancy.  I pray that you give me and [my wife] guidance in preparing [my oldest daughter] and [my middle daughter] for the coming baby, so that the impact its birth is only positive and joyful.

I pray that you would guide my next steps with regard to serving you.  I know that you expect me to use the gifts that you’ve blessed me with, and it feels like I’ve taken a step toward you by submitting my BRD for estimates.  I put the next step in your hands for completion or revelation and I wait expectantly upon you, Lord.

Thank you for paying the price for my sins and I eagerly await your return.  In your name I pray, amen.
