PRAYER FOR ALL BABIES LOST BEFORE BIRTH

 

Dear Lord,

We pray for all babies lost before birth. As we stand crushed and perplexed before Your Throne, the agony of our child's loss seems too great to bear. Help us carry this cross of premature loss, knowing that our little one is safe in Your Arms. 

We pray for all fathers who grieve the loss of their little one. May they receive strength to deal with this agonizing bereavement.

We pray for all mothers who have lost their little child. May they receive strength to deal with this agonizing loss.

We pray for all families who have lost a relative through this tragic loss before birth. May God give them the strength they need to deal with this bereavement.

We pray for all hospital personnel who grieve as they assist a bereaved family through this painful situation. May they receive the strength and grace they need to support the sorrowing while dealing with their own heartache as well.

Almighty God, we know that Your Ways are not our ways, Your Thoughts are not our thoughts. We cannot always understand the sorrows that this life brings us. What we do understand and know, however, is that YOUR SON JESUS CHRIST IS THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE. We know and believe our little one will rise again, and we will be with our little one in everlasting joy in heaven forever.

Amen.
