A Prayer for Baby

I guess I have not been doing very good at being a good blogger! Sorry!

Everything as been good lately. Nothing too exciting going on. As for TTC, I should be ovulating this weekend. I am not temping, just watching other signs. Everything seems to be indicating ovulation so wish us luck!

A girl made a post about a book on the TTCAL board. The book is "Expecting: Praying for your Child's Development, Body & Soul". She posted the 1st prayer in the book and I really liked it so I am posting it here.

God, I know it's never too early to pray for my future children. Thoughts of motherhood have always had a place in my mind & heart. I'm not naive enough to think it will be easy,but I know I can do this with You by my side.

God, will you watch over my body as it prepares to welcome a child into my womb? Will you work out everything for good and make sure the conditions are just right for conception.

I want to start praying even now for the child who will someday rest in my arms. Would you protect that baby? Would you help him/her grow up to be healthy & happy? To be a child who falls in love with Jesus and never stops growing in his/her relationship with you?

Please give me the discipline to pray for my child every day for the rest of my life.

In Jesus' name

Amen

"Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, before you were born, I set you apart" Jeremiah 1:5
