40 Weeks of Prayer - Week 2

(Originally written June 10, 2007)

This week, pray for:
Baby's Growth and Development
Even if you've already had your baby, we all need to continually pray for the health of our children. As an expectant mom, this is one of the areas that I have struggled a lot with...will my baby be "healthy?" From the time I found out I was pregnant, I started to think about all of the things that could go wrong. I thought about
all of the women I knew who had babies with health issues. I know God won't give me more than I can handle, but this is one area that I really had a hard time handing over to Him completely. All of the "what ifs" were a huge burden on me. I'm a lot better now, but I still have those moments of fear....especially as my due date approaches. I will continue to pray this week for my baby's health, as well as the health of the children of our group members.
