A Prayer For My Babies

A Prayer For My Babies – Written By Romy.

Time flies.

Moments pass.

Memories fade.

Each day, their legs get a little taller, their arms a little longer.

Each day, their words become a little more refined, their pronunciation a little stronger.

Each night, their sleep goes a little bit longer, the house a little quieter.

Each night, their snuggles get a little bit shorter, their hugging grip a little looser.

It brings tears to my eyes realizing they won’t be babies for long. How can one month or one year go so fast? What did I miss while I was living life, caught up in other daily distractions?

How can I preserve this moment, this time with my precious gifts from heaven? 

Their eyes innocent and pure – lovingly looking up at their mama, smiling, and cooing, giggling and singing, talking and dancing, squealing and waving.

They know nothing of the bad things in this world.  Oh, how I wish I could freeze time. 

Since I can’t make time stop, I pray.

I pray God gives them beautiful dreams at night.

I pray He protects them and surrounds them with His angels.

I pray He guides them and opens their eyes, ears, and hearts to see Him so they know they are never alone.

I pray He sends incredible people into their lives who lift them up and love them and encourage them.

I pray He gives them strength and courage to face the difficult days.

I pray He gives them grace and mercy to get through challenging times.

I pray He gives them wisdom and patience, boldness and restraint.

I pray He gives them pure joy and peace that passes all understanding.

I pray He gives them good health and long lives.

I pray they feel His strong and loving arms holding them when they are heartbroken.

I pray they hear His voice calling them when they feel alone.

I pray they know His truth when questioning what is right and wrong.

I pray they sing with reckless abandon and praise Him for who He is and for His miracles and wonders. 

I pray they know how loved they are, that God loves them with an everlasting love.

I pray that they know Him so intimately that they have the blessed assurance of heaven awaiting them as their eternal home.
