Lord ✝️ God of Heaven, Creator of life,
Look down on a world 🌎so entangled in strife.
You spoke every galaxy, sun 🌞, & deep sea,
And formed every human to grow & be free.
Before we were woven inside of the womb,
You knew every heartbeat 💓 from cradle to tomb.
You knew every name, every spirit, each face,
And showered Your creation in beauty & grace.
So hear us, O Father, as humbly we pray 🙏
For guidance, protection, & mercy today.
We pray for the precious, the unborn, the small, 👶
The tiny young lives who have no voice at all.
Protect every infant thru night and day,
Be near to the helpless, & guard them, we pray.
Let 💕 be the shelter where each life can start,
Entrusted to every compassionate heart.
May every young child who is given a birth
Be welcomed with joy as a blessing on earth,
To grow in Your grace and to walk in Your light,
Surrounded by hope that is steadfast & bright.
We pray for the mothers 🤱who struggle in fear,
Who feel so alone when a burden is near.
When doubt & anxiety threaten to press,
Deliver them, Father, from lonely distress
Send Angels 😇 of comfort, send friends who are true,
To support them and show what Your promise can do.
Provide every resource, give courage & peace, 🕊️
That worry may fade & assurance increase.
May communities gather to carry the load,
With kindness & grace along the long road,
So no mother feels she must face it alone,
Unseen or forgotten, unloved or unknown.
We pray for the fathers to stand strong and brave,
To offer the honor and wisdom You gave.
Give strength to the families, bring peace to the home,
Where no single heart feels forsaken alone.
Touch doctors and nurses, and lead them to see
The sacred devotion of Your mystery.
Inspire all lawmakers, both local and grand,
To cherish each life that exists in our land.
Grant wisdom to leaders, that justice may reign,
To heal every sorrow, to comfort all pain.
Remove all division, bring healing & calm
And pour out Your mercy as heavenly balm.
May hearts that are heavy find solace in You,
Restored by a hope that is tender & true
Let truth speak with gentleness, grace, and respect,
To cherish, honor, defend, and protect.
May love be the banner we raise to the sky,
As morning arises & shadows pass by.
We place all our worries, our hope & care
Within Your hands thru this humble prayer.
Guide us with patience, with faith from above,
And anchor our spirits in eternal love.
Amen.
