My Prayer for This Week:


Dear Lord,
I thank You for hearing and answering my prayers. Your Word tells us that You are touched by our feelings, and that You care for us. And Jesus, You showed how much you love the little children when You took them in Your arms and blessed them. So this week, I am praying to thank You that I've made it to the halfway point on the pregnancy calendar, and I pray for my baby's continued growth and development.
It is so awesome the way You designed pregnancy to take care of the baby's needs. I pray for my baby's skin as it is growing the four layers this week. Help the moisturizing vernix to be produced and do its job. Protect my baby's skin from scratches, dehydration and infection. When my baby is born, protect the skin from harm.
Protect my baby, both physically and spiritually. Keep my child safe in Your loving arms.
In the name of Jesus. Amen.
