Most deliveries of a baby happen safely. Praise be to God for advancements in the medical field. But it doesn’t hurt to say a prayer for the safe delivery of a friend’s baby if there’s a small chance for pregnancy complications.
Although medical science has come a long way in ensuring that dangers to the mother and baby are lessened, we still need to pray for both their safety because it’s never 100% guaranteed. We don’t have perfect doctors!
Prayers can also do wonders in bringing strength and comfort to the mother and also the anxious father. With all the things that are happening and everything they’re feeling, it’s very easy for them to be distracted, so as Christians, we need to be ready to intercede in prayer for them if the need arises.
Let us pray.
