Gratitude for New Life

Giver of every good gift, With wonder and gratitude, we welcome this child. Thank You for sustaining mother and baby through pregnancy and birth. Thank You for every person whose skill, prayer, and care helped bring us to this day. Bless this child with health, protection, and a life surrounded by love. Give the parents wisdom, patience, humility, and strength. Sustain them through sleepless nights and unfamiliar responsibilities. Teach them to see parenthood not as possession, but as a sacred stewardship. Let this home become a place of peace, truth, laughter, forgiveness, and faith. Surround this family with a community that will encourage them, help them, and point them toward You. May this child grow in wisdom, character, compassion, and knowledge of Your love. We dedicate our gratitude, our hopes, and our family to You through Jesus Christ. Amen.
