As a couple, even if physically only my wife can conceive it should be considered that both of you are going in the pregnancy season of life because you are considered one body, one flesh in God.

Parent’s dedication for the child
Here is a prayer you can adapt or pray as it is both privately, just you and Father God, or before a minister in church.
Father, in Jesus’ holy name, we come before You on this special day to present to You, to consecrate to You, to dedicate to You, to give back to You, this, our sweet baby that You have given us. Lord, we realize that we are only stewards of this special gift from You. Only You create life. This baby is Your baby. You said I must teach my children of You and Your commandments. You promised that if we would train up our child in the way he would not depart from it when he is old. You promised that if children would honor their parents it would be well with them (not sick but well) and they would live long on the earth. You said they would be disciples of the Lord, taught and obedient to the Lord and great would be their peace and undisturbed composure. Thank You for these promises and commandments. Thank You for our baby.
This day, before You and the host of heaven and all other witnesses, we come to present to You in solemn dedication our baby. We consecrate as parents to not provoke hime to wrath, but to bring him up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. We commit to You to train him up in Your ways and he won’t depart from them. We promise to teach him of You, Your ways, Your Word, Your will. We promise to train him by example and demonstration as well as our words. We promise to discipline him according to Your Word. We promise to love and care for him and bathe him in prayer from this day forward. We commit this baby into Your care. You can be omnipresent; I can’t always be there, but You can. Your angels have charge over him to keep him in all his ways and life him up lest he dash his foot against a stone. We pray that this child be healthy, whole, complete, blessed, and prosperous spirit, soul and body. We bind the forces of hell and the devil in Jesus’ name to stay away from our family in every area of our lives. We decree that Jesus be enthroned above all else in our family at all times in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Creating Spiritual Community at Work
Father, open my eyes and my heart to see needs and pray for my coworkers. Help me to practice the discipline of prayer consistently. As I pray, Father, change me, change others, and change my workplace. Amen.
Pray that coworkers will come to know and follow Jesus.
Pray that those who do follow Jesus (you + others) will boldly lead change in the workplace.
Pray for the coworkers you like and the ones that aren’t so easy to love.
Prayer for your workplace.
Pray for yourself.
Pray that God will ignite a fire in you to go that extra mile, to care more, and to work more diligently.
Prayer changes EVERYTHING.
I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,

Prayer for our government
Proverbs 14:34
Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.
- Lord, we decree Your righteousness upon the Philippines and it’s government. We ask for wisdom for our leaders to govern with integrity and the fear of You. Let Your Holy Spirit sweep across our government to carry out Your perfect will and plans for our people.
Isaiah 58:2
Yet they seek Me daily, and delight to know My ways, as a nation that did righteousness and did not forsake the ordinances of their God; they ask of Me the ordinances of justice , they take delight in approaching God.
- Father, we do not exist in a vacuum. Grant wisdom and grace to our leaders in our relationship with other nations. Help our leaders decide according to Your will and in keeping with biblical principles. Be a wall of fire around the Filipino leaders and people.
