I don't mean silly like what you think. The truth is compared to what other people are requesting prayers for in this board, I feel silly even asking. However, I must. My wife is within two weeks of giving birth to our first child. All I ask is a simple prayer that I'm a good Christian father and help my son/daughter (we don't know) find God early and often.

Thanks,
Peter

Hi nothing silly about wanting to be a good Christian father brother, Christ and prayer will be your strenght...

Will be praying for you and your family, and congrats on the new member of your family, teach him or her well

God bless

"All I ask is a simple prayer that I'm a good Christian father"

You know Solomon was given the opportunity to ask God for any 1 thing.
Solomon chose wisdom & was abundantly blessed with that & so much more.

I pray that you, your wife, & your child would (as he was) be blessed with that & so much more.

Congratulations Peter, what exciting news. Thanks for sharing this with us.

I pray that your 'desires' "whatsoever things you desire........" will be realised.

Amen

I will pray for you brother Peter. What your asking for in prayer and willing to do is extremely important after all, especially in this day and age.

God bless you with wisdom

"With Arms Wide Open" - Creed

Well I just heard the news today
It seems my life is going to change
I closed my eyes, begin to pray
Then tears of joy stream down my face

With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open

Well I don't know if I'm ready
To be the man I have to be
I'll take a breath, I'll take her by my side
We stand in awe, we've created life

With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open
I'll show you everything ...oh yeah
With arms wide open..wide open

[Guitar Break]

If I had just one wish
Only one demand
I hope he's not like me
I hope he understands
That he can take this life
And hold it by the hand
And he can greet the world
With arms wide open...

With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open
I'll show you everything..oh yeah
With arms wide open....wide open

Amen, amen. I'll pray for the birth of the baby, the health of the three of you, for your new found member to fit snug in its new place, and a family lived in Christ Jesus. God bless you and your family!

Really love this part in the song....
If I had just one wish
Only one demand
I hope he's not like me
I hope he understands
That he can take this life
And hold it by the hand
And he can greet the world

In Christ,
Kevin
