Dear Lord, 

You know my pain, you know how my heart aches and you know my deepest desire.

Please in your grace consider your servant who longs to give you glory, who longs to bring a child to you and raise up this gift - all for your glory. 

Oh, Lord - be with me during this time.  Comfort me when days feel like eternity and my world can be forever changed by this chance. 

I give it all up to you and trust in your Divine guidance. 

Asked in the Wonderful name of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus, 

Amen.
