prayer for my sister


A Mother's Prayer for

Her Unborn Child



Blessed and Merciful God,

Thank you for the gift of life.


Thank you for the life of the child growing inside of me.


Thank you for your love that is shaping and forming

this child's life into divine perfection.


Thank you for shaping this child's mind.


Thank you for shaping this child's bones.


Thank you for shaping this child's destiny and for

writing it upon her heart.


Thank you for filling this child's entire being with
your
loving light.

Thank you for knowing and calling this child's name

even as it is being formed.


Thank you for showing me how to love this child
even
before it is born.

Thank you for giving me a healthy appetite for
those
foods that are life giving and life sustaining
while this
child is growing inside of me.

Thank you for giving me peaceful rest while this child

is growing inside of me.

Thank you for keeping me from harm and danger

while this child is growing inside of me.


Thank you for peace of mind while this child
is
growing inside of me.


Right now I give you all of my concerns for the
health, strength
and well-being for the precious life
growing inside my body.

Right now I call forth your grace, mercy and the

loving light of your presence to fill my being and
sustain the life growing inside me.

Prepare me for this birth.

Prepare my mind.

Prepare
my body.

Bless me and this child that her birth will happen
easily
and effortlessly, under the grace of your peace.

I give your angels charge of this child.


I give you charge over my entire being.

I give you thanksgiving and praise for this blessed life

growing inside me.


May this prayer be lifted, heard and accepted into
the
highest realms of all that is good.

For this I am so grateful.


.......Amen
