I understand not everyone shares the same views but if you are someone who believes and needs some peace of mind, this is for you. I myself am 11 weeks and having extremely bad anxiety. This is my second child but I feel more anxiety this time around. We go for our first ultrasound in 5 days and all I want is to hear that heartbeat and see that everything is okay. The closer we get, the more anxious I become. I found this prayer and it helped calm my nerves a bit. I will continue to pray it through our appointment and so on. And silently for all those who need it 💙

Father God, I thank You for my baby’s heartbeat, and even though I can’t hear it yet, I know You can. Bless my baby’s heart and cause it to grow strong, just as it should be. Protect my baby’s heart from any defects or problems. Your Word says that in the beginning Your creative powers were at work. I acknowledge Your power and ask You to extend it to my baby also. Create a healthy baby, week by week, as he or she grows. And, Lord, give my child a heart to love and serve You. Give my child a tender heart, open to hearing Your voice, and to be kind and compassionate toward others. Please help me to be a good role model of these attitudes as well. Help me lead my child in prayer and in opening up our hearts to You to receive Your love. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
