Prayer

Jesus invites us to come to Him with our fears and needs, bringing others before the Father with boldness (Hebrews 4:16).

Father, I ask for courage and clarity as my wife enters labor. Give her strength for what her body must do, and give me the presence of mind to serve her well—to be her advocate, her comfort, and her strength when hers runs dry. Guard her and our child. Help me love her as Christ loved the church, not counting the cost. I surrender this sacred moment to Your hands, trusting You with what only You can control. In Jesus' name, Amen.
