ChurchreadersWhen you’re pregnant, your whole world expands in ways you never imagined. You’re constantly growing and changing – physically and emotionally. And as your little one comes into the world, you’re also tasked with raising them in a way that’s best for them. Along the way, there are bound to be challenges – but with the help of prayer, you can overcome anything!
Prayer for my baby
I am so grateful to have a healthy and happy baby boy. As much as I want him to enjoy life, it feels like prayer is all I can do to protect him from the storms that seem to be coming his way. It feels like every day there’s another news story about some sort of danger facing our children. It makes me wonder why Heavenly Father would allow such things, but what can I do to make sure my baby is safe?
I have been reading about the blessings of prayer for parents and babies. A study showed that when mothers prayed for their infants, their babies had better attitudes toward sleeping, eating habits, and bowel movements. Another study found that infants who received prayers from their mothers were more likely to receive immunizations than babies who didn’t receive prayers.
I know that Heavenly Father hears and answers our prayers. So, I ask Him to help me keep my baby safe from all the dangers that surround him and give me the strength to protect him through anything that comes our way.
What I pray for my baby
It’s no secret that I am a huge fan of prayer. And, I believe that prayer is one of the most powerful tools we have in our arsenal as parents.
There are so many things I pray for my baby each and every day – from physical health to spiritual growth. But, here are five specific prayers that I pray for my son on a daily basis:
1. Lord, please protect my baby from harm.
2. Lord, please guide and protect my baby during his journey through life.
3. Lord, please give my baby wisdom and discernment to make good decisions.
4. Lord, please fill my baby with love and compassion.
5. And finally, Lord, please keep my baby safe and healthy in your care until he comes home to you one day.

Prayer for my baby
As a new mom, your entire world revolves around your baby. Whether you are homeschooling or sending your child to public school, every moment is special and you want to make the best of every one.
One way to do this is by praying for your baby each day.
This may seem like an odd thing to do, but according to Dr. Laura Schlessinger, it is one of the most beneficial things you can do for your child. Prayer not only gives you comfort, but it also helps children develop a relationship with God.
When children have a strong relationship with God from an early age, they are less likely to have problems as they get older. Prayer can also help children in other areas of their lives, such as school and relationships.
So whether you are nursing or bottle feeding your baby, start praying for them each day! It will be worth it in the long run!

Prayer for my friends
I have been praying for my friends and family the past few days. It seems like everywhere I turn there is drama. It doesn’t seem like anything good is happening in the world. I feel so helpless.

Please pray for me too!
