Prayer Is A Powerful Resource

I feel that a repeat of an earlier pray is appropriate at this time and must praise God when I realized that a particular portion of this pray has been answered. All of my medical exams came back as they should and I am healthy.

Thank You Lord for that answered prayer and please hear this prayer again.

Please God, forgive me of my many sins and help me to choose a better
path.

Please God, hear the prayers of my heart and take my fears away.

Please God, keep our family safe, together, healthy, and living for
you. Please God, don’t take me from my family.

Please God, fill the empty room down the hall with the gift of a
child.

Please God, show my children that the proper result of pregnancy is not
death but life. Don’t let their last experience of Jacob be their only frame of
reference that may scare them into never wanting a family or children of their
own.

Please God, fill the void I feel in my heart and in my arms with the gift
of a child. Please God, don’t leave empty the crib, car seat, stroller,
walker, swing, and bathtub that still lie unused in the loft of our garage. Fill
those items with a child’s coo, giggle, and cry.

Please God, give me the chance to see the look on my husband’s face as he
rocks our baby to sleep while singing a song, the smile on Trystan’s face as he
pick’s up a sibling so eager to be held, to see the smile and raised arms of a
child who just realized that mommy walked through the door; and let my ears hear
the ring of and excited “Mommy…” as a child runs to my arms. To see the healing
that will take place as my parents hold their grandchild and may it restore the
joy that they once held in you.

Please God, allow me to reach people with our story of Jacob, who is with
you; then allow me to be able to tell them of the blessings of the gift of a
child you sent to us after Jacob.

Please God, take away the feeling of uselessness as Trystan grows and needs
me far less than I need him. Take away the emptiness I feel when our house is
silent, void of the sounds of children.

Please God, help me to enjoy the new season of independence that Trystan
has entered instead of being consumed by missing his toddler days. Help me to
help him become the young man that you would have him to be.

Please God, help my doubt, my fear, and my impatience. Help me to remember
that my time is not your time; my ways are not your ways.

Please God, give me peace and joy in whatever result for my life that your
perfect plan holds.

Not my will Lord, but yours be done. Amen.



And thank you for all of your prayers in this matter. I am blessed to have such support in my life.

Have a Blessed Day!!

April
