Welcome! If you’re pregnant or want to pray along with an expecting friend or family member, you’re in the right place. Pray along with us as we cover developmental milestones, scripture, and prayers for each week of pregnancy.
Week 37
Congratulations, you're now in the last month of this remarkable journey! At 37 weeks pregnant, your baby is the size of Swiss chard. Your little one's immune system is receiving an essential boost during this time. Through the umbilical cord, they are receiving vital antibodies from you, their incredible source of protection. These antibodies will provide a crucial shield against germs and diseases, ensuring a healthier start to life outside the womb.
As your body and baby prepare for the impending arrival, you might be experiencing a mixture of excitement and anticipation. The cozy environment of the womb has nurtured your baby's growth and development, creating a remarkable bond between you two. Cherish these precious final moments of pregnancy as you await the joyous occasion of meeting your cherished baby, who is already wrapped in the warm embrace of your love.
Scripture: 1 Peter 4:10
Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.
Prayer: Spiritual Gifts
Dear God,
I believe that even in the womb, You have bestowed spiritual gifts upon my little one, gifts that are meant to bring glory to Your name and to bless others. I pray, O Lord, that as my child grows and develops, You would nurture and cultivate these gifts within them. Just as it is written in 1 Peter 4:10, "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms." May my child come to know the unique abilities and talents You have placed in their heart, and may they use these gifts as a vessel to share Your boundless grace with those around them.
Lord, I ask for Your guidance and wisdom as I parent my child, that I may encourage and support them in discovering and embracing the gifts You have given them. May they be filled with a desire to use these gifts selflessly, to bring hope, love, and compassion to a world in need. I pray that their life would be a testimony of Your grace, and that others would be drawn closer to You through their actions and words.
Thank You, dear Lord, for entrusting me with the care of this precious soul. I pray that You would grant my child the courage, wisdom, and humility to walk in the path You have set before them.
In Jesus' name, I pray,
Amen.
