A Beautiful Prayer...

I read this on Britney's babyfit journal. I thought it was beautiful and I just feel like I should make it my prayer too.

Father, we thank you that children are a heritage of the Lord and the fruit of the womb is his reward. children are your idea, Father. You thought up children and family and home. You instituted the family in the garden of Eden. You ordered children. You commanded them when you said to Adam and Eve, be fruitful and multiply. You said that the barren womb is never satisfied. Lord, the Word declares that I am wonderfully and fearfully made by you, therefore I'm perfect and able to conceive and have children. You said that I would be a fruitful vine by the side of our house and our children like olive plants around the table. We are not ashamed but happy because our quiver is full of children (or arrows as you call them).

Thank you, Father, that you designed and fashioned me to have children, that in the bible barrenness was the exception, not the rule, not your will, not normal, something against your plans and purpose. In your name, goodness, and faithfulness, every barren woman in the bible who was godly and believed your word became pregnant. You opened her womb and blessed her, and she gave birth to a precious baby just as I will. You make the barren woman to keep house and to be a joyful mother of children.

Amen
