This is a prayer I wrote for Breadcrumb's dedication on Easter Sunday. I've been p olishing it during those night feeds and unexpected moments of quiet in day time, when the baby was asleep and I somehow wasn't...
New Mother's Prayer
Lord, thank you.
Thank you for your beauty in this child you placed in my arms, your creation.
Thank you for your generosity in making him part of your plan for me.
Thank you for the overwhelming love in my heart, may it guide me.
I give and surrender this child to you, my Lord.
He was yours to give and is yours to take.
Bless him and keep him, let him grow knowing your peace and your joy, a vessel for your light.
Lord, help me.
Help me tend to my child with patience and joy, even in small hours, even when my own darkness overwhelms me, placing his needs and those of my family before my own with gladness.
Help me shine Your light to him and lead him by example in a life of praise and prayer, guiding him into the footsteps of Your son, Jesus.
Amen.
