Scripture reveals that God is intimately involved in creating life from the moment of conception, knowing and calling each person before birth.

Prayer
Jesus taught us to bring everything to our Father in prayer (Matthew 7:7-8).
Father, You are the Creator of all life, the One who forms each child with intentional love. Help me to see pregnancy through Your eyes—as the sacred work of Your hands creating a precious soul. When I encounter expectant mothers, give me words of encouragement and support. Protect mothers and babies everywhere, and help our world to value the life You create. In Jesus' name, Amen.
