Gracious Father,
You are the author of all life. It has pleased you to create a new life out of the loving marriage of Ian and Jen.
We ask you to watch over the labour and delivery of their second child. Keep mother and child safe and give the medical staff wisdom.
May this child be the source of great joy for the Tyrrells and their families and freinds. May the baby thrive physically, emotionally and spiritually in the days, months and years ahead.
You have lavished your love and mercy on Ian and Jen by adopting them into your eternal family. We humbly ask you to also lavish your love and mercy on Matthias and the baby, not because they deserve it but because of the death and resurrection of your Son, Jesus.
In Jesus’ precious and life-giving name
Amen
