Raising an altar of prayer for your baby

A lot of you may know me from TikTok, where I regularly pray with and for pregnant women. Those prayers are a big part of why this journal means so much to me. I wanted to create something you could keep with you beyond a TikTok live or video, somewhere you can come back to each week, pray over your baby, write down what God is putting on your heart, and keep a record of your pregnancy journey.

This journal comes in two versions so you can use it in the way that works best for you. You’ll receive a printable PDF version if you prefer to write by hand, as well as a fillable digital version that you can type directly into on your phone, tablet or computer.

I created ‘Raising an Altar of Prayer for Your Baby’ from a very personal place. Pregnancy can be full of joy, but it can also come with a lot of thoughts and worries. One minute you can feel excited, and the next you may find yourself wondering if your baby is okay.

This journal was created to help you bring those thoughts back to God and be intentional about covering your baby in prayer throughout your pregnancy.

Inside the journal, you will find:

• 40 weeks of prayer and Scripture
• Weekly declarations over yourself
• Weekly declarations over your baby
• A short word of encouragement for each week
• Weekly faith actions
• Space to write what you are grateful for
• Space for your thoughts, prayers, and notes
• Prayers for your baby’s development
• Pregnancy milestone pages
• Biblical Names and Meanings
• Testimonies and encouragement
• Hospital bag checklist
• Birth plan pages
• Space for your ultrasound pictures

I didn’t create this journal for you to feel like you have to complete every page perfectly. Some weeks you may sit and write, and some weeks you may read the prayer and speak the declarations. The important thing is that you are creating an altar of prayer, which means making time consistently to pray over your baby and your pregnancy.

My prayer is that this journal becomes something you can keep coming back to throughout your pregnancy and, one day, look back on as a reminder of the answered prayers, the scriptures you stood on, and the things you trusted God for.

Your baby is a gift from God, and you can begin covering their life, health, development, purpose, and future in prayer before you ever hold them in your arms.
