Day 67: Ember Faith Prayer Countdown

Today, I (Lauren) am feeling a bit weary. This pregnancy is beginning to wear me down, and if it were not for the supernatural strength of the Lord, I would be a complete wreck. Despite aches and pains, sleep deprivation, and crazy mood swings, I feel a strength beyond myself, and I know that the Lord is with me, holding me up. God is so good!

It is an amazing feeling to live beyond your own abilities, and we pray that our daughter will experience that in her life! So, today, we pray that we would continue to rely on the Lord's strength as we guide and care for Ember and that she would learn to rely on His strength to get through everyday.

Lord, thank You for being our strength everyday! Thank You for sustaining us in the good times and bad and giving us the ability to do more than we could have ever imagined. We are trusting in Your strength to sustain us through the ups and downs of parenting, and we ask that You would be our daughter's strength from day one. Father, would You give Ember the strength to live beyond her own abilities and do amazing things for You? We pray that You would grant her not only physical strength, but strength of spirit and strength of character. Lord, sustain her through every calm and every storm in her life. May she rest in Your strength, Lord, and not grow weary from trying to do things in her own strength. This we pray as we wait for the arrival of our sweet and precious gift, Ember Faith.

A prayer for strength from God's hand:

Please Be My Strength
