A Premature Baby's Prayer
God bless the little child behind the plastic wallFor all he knows is the ringing of the bells andthe blurred images around him. He has been takenfrom my womb without warning and I long to hold himin my arms. Lord, I ask in your name that my child be healed.I am willing to accept your decision no matter whatit will be. I am willing to take on the responsibilitiesfor caring for this child. I am willing to give thischild love and understanding no matter the cost. Please Lord help me to accept reality and what hashappened without explanation or warning. Help meface the fact that this is not my fault and thatI was given a special task to complete here on Earth. God give my child the strength to make it through anothersecond, minute, hour and day as each moment isa blessing and a triumph from heaven. God, may you give the strength and compassionto the caregivers and nurses that take care of my childMay you keep my child protected and free from all injuryand pain. Please take away the guilt and burden from my heart dearLord. It is heavy and I feel it is all my fault.Take it away dear Lord. Sweet Jesus allow me the strengthand understanding I need to communicate with the Doctorsand Nurses. As you see dear Lord, I am at your mercy for the life ofmy child. Please leave him here on Earth and know thatI will provide all the love and understanding thatthis child needs. I accept the challenge and will beyour humble servant dear Lord. ~Author unknown~
