A prayer for Micah

Father, we thank you for this sweet blessing that is due to arrive in less than 2 months! We thank You that You are the author and perfector of life. You know life because are the creator of life and know one knows this child better than you do. You are the Parent of all parents. We pray that he would grow up falling in love with you and have much character-humility, love, compassion, honesty, thankfulness, integrity and respect. We pray that he would be "strong and courageous" but yet have a sensitive heart as well. We ask that You would be our Helper as we learn how to parent him. Please Lord save him while he is young and protect him from evil. I pray he would be healthy. Please take care of his little body. We pray that you would use him as your instrument of grace, even when he's young, to show the love of Christ to others. He needs you Lord, apart from You he can do nothing. We need you Lord to be successful parents. Thank you for your presence, that you will never leave us nor forsake us. You are truly wonderful. Amen.
