Abba: I pray over this family – a new life has entered, and people are adjusting. I pray for the new mama, that she is able to get rest. I pray for the family, that they give her space for this, and ask what she needs, and not force the issue. Be present with the mama and child, and teach her to nap when the baby naps, and to rest and let things go. Heal her body as her hormones readjust. Allow her to bond with the baby. Let everyone else take a step back and give her the gift of being able to ask for help if she needs it. Abba, if there is a need, give her the grace to ask for help. Let her hear only what would come from You and not the words of manipulators. Let this new life be a uniting joy in the family, not a strife-filled divider. It is a precious new life. Thank You for this new life. Let the mama hear love and concern from her family without agendas – only love that is Christlike. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
