By Julie Bell, R.N. GENERALLY: - for a safe, easy birth with no complications. (Isaiah 53:4-5; Galatians 3:13,14; Deuteronomy 28:2-11) - that like the Hebrew women, I will be ‘lively and vigorous’ in labour and have a quick birth that progresses well (not prolonged). (Exodus 1:19) - a fear-free and therefore pain-free birth. Labour is just that: labour (hard work) but with God it does not have to hurt. Pray that the ‘fear-tension- pain’ cycle will be broken, and that we will all rest in the Lord’s love, trusting him. I am redeemed from the curse of the law. (1 John 4:18; 2 Timothy 1:7; Isaiah 41:10; Gal 3:13). - for a birth that glorifies God and is a blessing to everyone present. (Psalm 100) For an atmosphere of peace and worship as we keep our eyes on Jesus and enjoy his presence, praising him. (Phil. 4:7) The Lord is in control of the labour and delivery. (Psalm 22:9) - for joy (Nehemiah 8:10) - for strength (Phil. 4:13) - for help and blessing (Gen. 49:25) - for safety and wholeness - in spirit, soul and body, of baby and mother (1Timothy 2:15) - for courage (Psalm 31:24) - for protection (Psalm 91:14) - for faith (1 John 5:14-15) - for wisdom (Prov. 2:6) - for unity - God, mother, father, baby, the midwife, and the labour support person(s) = the Birth Team. (Psalm 133) |
