My Prayer This Week:Dear Lord,
I thank You for breathing the breath of life into my baby. You are amazing, God, and I acknowledge your greatness and praise You.
Lord, please help my baby's lungs to continue to grow and develop and to form perfectly. Help me carry the baby to full term so the lungs and other organs have time to mature. Give my baby strong and healthy lungs, and strength and health in every way.
Lord, let us all use the breath You have given us to express gratitude and praise to You. And let us use the breath You've given us to pass on Your love to others. Help me to be a good role model for my family, and help me to be an expression of Your Holy Spirit. Thank You, Lord.
In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
