Today, we pray for childless couples

Lord Jesus, today we bring to You all Your children who are longing to hold a baby in their arms. Lord, we pray for mercy. We pray for the grace to trust You and for strength, if the wait has been long. May all marriage beds be kept holy. Forgive all the sins that couples have committed against their spirits, souls and bodies. We also pray that more and more childless men and women will be open to giving lonely orphans a home. Let their prayers meet in heaven for a common good. May the couples’ cries for an heir be heard, Lord Jesus. Amen.
