God's Love

Loved Before Birth

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you."
Jeremiah 1:5

Reflection

God was not surprised when you arrived. He had been thinking about you long before anyone else knew you existed.

Prayer

Father, thank You for thinking of me before I was born. Amen!

Talk about it as a family

  1. Did God know you before you were born?
  2. How does it feel to be planned and wanted?
  3. What do you think God thought about you?

5-minute activity

Parents share stories from when they were waiting for the child: how they felt, what they prepared. Then pray together thanking God for knowing the child from the start. Read Jeremiah 1:5 and Psalm 139:13-16.
