Hello Everyone,
It is not my intent to offend anyone but while exchanging emails with another Share Mommy, Karmen Battle, she sent me an email which included this prayer. It has brought her a lot of comfort and after reading I can see why! I hope that it brings you all the same sense of peace that it has brought so many other Mommies in our situation.
Hugs to Everyone!

Lord,
help me to know that You are enough. Take my eyes off of myself. Take
my eyes off of the child I desire. Help me to delight myself in You.
Mold the desires of my heart to be in line with Your will. I don't want
to need to be a mother more than I need to be your humble, obedient
child. I don't want wanting to have a baby to be a stumbling block
between You and me anymore.
Lord, I want to give this desire, this
drive, this ache up to You. Help me not to snatch it back as I so often
do with the burdens I place in Your hands. Help me to be truly content
with Your will and Your timing.
Lord, You know that I still desire a
baby - someone to mold, teach, train, shape, guide, and help to grow in
You. But until the day You give me that joyous blessing, help me to
grow in You. Let me reach out to those around me. Let me witness and
minister to the children You place in my path.
Lord, if adoption is
the path You would have us take, prepare our hearts, and prepare the
child who will share our home. If adoption is not Your will for our
lives, keep me from pushing ahead of Your plan. Help me to stay
submitted to my husband's will, and to Your will. If we are headed in
the wrong direction, change our hearts.
Thank
You for lifting my burden. Help me to keep You first! Let me seek Your
face daily, and let me know that You are enough! amen
