New mothers are often so exhausted that they can barely keep their eyes open, let alone find time to pray. But prayer is essential for both the mother and child. If you’re a new mother, this morning prayer will help renew your strength and give you the energy you need to care for your little one.
Dear Lord,
I am so tired. I feel like I can barely keep my eyes open, let alone take care of a new baby. But I know that You are with me and will give me the strength I need.
Help me to be patient when my baby is fussy and crying, and everything seems to be going wrong. Help me to cherish this time, even though if I’m sometimes exhausted.
I know being a mother is one of the most important jobs in the world. Help me to do it well and with love.
Amen.
