Dear Lord

Dear Lord,
The fear has started to creep in a little bit. I am a little worried about having this C-Section. So many thoughts are crowding my mind now. This will mean that Jeremiah and I are not going to have a lot of kids. There are always complications with a major abdominal surgery like this one. I am worried but don't even know what to be worried about. I know that I should ask so many questions of my doctor but I don't even know what to ask him. Lord you know what is in my heart and you are in control. Please still my fears and fill me with peace. God show me how to honor you through my worries and I ask for you to be with me every step of the way as we go to the hospital on Tuesday. Thank you for protecting this child and allowing us to have a healthy pregnancy thus far. Lord give me wisdom and understanding as I visit the doctor on Monday and what I should talk to him about. I ask for peace and protection this coming week and the weeks to follow in recovering from the surgery. Lord I ask for continued health for our new baby and lots of patience that I know only you can instill in me in dealing with a two year old and a newborn. Lord thank you for blessing my life with a wonderful mother who is willing to come stay and help me take care of babies and household chores. Lord I ask for you to be with the family that has lost a husband and a father so suddenly. Be with his wife who is trying to raise three children on her own now and be with her as you hold her up in this time of sorrow. I pray you would surround her and her children with your everlasting love and that you would put people in their lives to help them get through this hard time. I thank you daily for the protection you provide for my husband and my daughter and myself. Knowing that life can be taken from us so quickly I thank you for the blessing of your protection.
