Pregnancy is a holy time and also a very human time of waiting. The Spirit has come into our lives bringing joy and awe as well as many physical and emotional challenges. This collection of scripture and prayer will help expectant parents give thanks for their blessings, pray for their child and their parenthood, calm their anxieties, and intercede for all children and their caregivers. Within sections for each trimester of the pregnancy are prayers for morning and evening as well as other pieces for praise, petition, and reflection for any time. Two additional sections offer prayers for anxious moments and prayers of thanksgiving. This is a profound and helpful little book that will support expectant parents as they prepare to welcome their child.
