Prayers for New Mothers - Angela Thomas Guffey - Hardcover

"Being a new mother is perhaps the most blessed and the most tiring thing I have ever done in my life.Four times, the season of new baby has come to our home, each one incredibly wonderful, stressful and extraordinary. Each time I find myself parying aloud, "Lord, help me. Teach me how to love this baby well.While I wrote these prayers during our first months with Anna Grace, I also drew from experience with our other babies. Taylor was our first, and we prayed desperate first-baby prayers and tender awe-struck prayers over her. Grayson was next. We gave thanks for his life because of a difficult birth. We prayed for extra stamina when he didn't sleep through the night for fourteen months. And we prayed for his health when he had seizures that scared us senseless. Then came William--wild and wonderful William. We didn't know that our angel baby would turn into an adorable, extra-curious two-year-old who requires constant prayer for protection. As I write these words, I am wondering What is William doing? The house has been unusually quiet for all of fifteen seconds, and I am worried.It is a priveledge to share my prayers with you. As you pray through your own season of new mothering, may our tender God hold you tight and love you long. If you will call out to Him, He will be faithful and come and abide. He will be your portion and your strength. He will be your delight and your rest.The child you hold in your arms proves again His great love for you. Press on my sister... pray in all things... and kiss that baby for me.Guffey, Angela Thomas is the author of 'Prayers for New Mothers - Angela Thomas Guffey - Hardcover' with ISBN 9781562927769 and ISBN 1562927760.
