A Prayer for Our Child

May you be safe and sleep soundly through the night,
May you be safe as you wake to the morning's light.
May you feel my love from so far away,
May it comfort and protect you throughout each day.
I will pray for you my little one
Until our time of waiting is done.
I will pray that the Lord keep you safe from harm,
Until the child of my heart becomes the child in my arms.

Amen :). I cannot even imagine how hard it is to wait and "be pregnant" without knowing the due date...hugs!!

What an absolutely beautiful prayer. We're praying for your little one too.

I have wanted all my life to be a mom. My parents would tell you that when I was even 2 they would lose me and find me in the nearest baby stroller with my face pressed in for a good look and smother of the little one inside. Whether from my own womb or someone else's there has always been a drive inside of me to be someone's mom. The anticipation nearly my whole life kept me on pins and needles until the day they placed John in my arms. Bliss does not begin to come close to describing that moment. Your child is near and until he is safe in your own arms, he is safe within his Father's arms. Especially created, especially chosen to be wholly yours, to call just you, mom.
