Heavenly Father,
We come before You with hearts full of gratitude for the precious gift of unborn and newborn life. We thank You for the miracle of babies, each one crafted by Your loving hands. You knit them together in their mothers' wombs, fearfully and wonderfully made, pure and without sin.
Lord, You have a purpose and plan for every child, a future filled with hope and blessings. We recognize that every baby’s life is important and holds immense value. From the moment of conception, You breathe life into them, and their souls are precious in Your sight.
Father, we pray for protection over the lives of unborn babies. We know that their lives matter just as much as any other, for they are made in Your image. Let no one forget that these innocent lives are gifts from You, to be cherished and nurtured. Guide us to honor and protect them, remembering that each child has a destiny that only You can fulfill.
Lord, we also ask for Your mercy and forgiveness for those who have strayed into sin. We know that babies are born without sin, pure and blameless, but as we grow, we all fall short of Your glory.
A life burdened with sin cannot enter into Your kingdom, but through repentance and the blood of Jesus, we can be cleansed. Help us all to turn away from sin and toward the life You desire for us, so that we may one day enter Heaven with pure hearts.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray.
Amen.
