Strain

If the baby absorbs that which I experience during pregnancy, then this baby has been through a lot of strain and stress so far in life. And I don’t like that. I rather dislike it. I don’t feel guilty for it – it has simply been the life I’ve lived lately. I do, however, want to heal this for both the baby and me.

God, help me to heal this baby wherever and however it may need healing, please. Make me and the baby and my husband well, please, and keep us safe. Thank you for this growing family. Help us always to be our best selves, the people you call us to be. In your name, I pray. Amen.
