Baby Harrison

Lord, You alone are holding the universe together. You preside over all the life that springs forth and the restoration we can see so clearly in spring. The plants spring up, the flowers bloom, the roots venture down and the stems sprout up--all by Your hand. The bees pollinate each flower by Your hand. They know just what to do. 


You, who are in control of all of this, are the Father of baby Harrison. Today, even now, they are filling his body and kidney with fluids without sedation. But You are presiding over everything that happens. I pray that You will keep your baby comfortable and guide the doctors in their work. I pray that You will sort out his ailments as You see fit, healing him of them completely and swiftly being my first choice!


I'm anxious, again. So much going on. I have to drop Lily at school, and buy dog food, and do my posts, and pick up Lily and her horrid friend Alexia, and write my gallery assignment, and pick up Isabel from the bus, and drive us all over to East Cobb Park for a play date with Hannah H, and continue to write my gallery assignment, and somewhere in all of this figure out dinner, which includes Tom Conlon, who's staying with us. Yesterday I asked Emily's mom for a play date today and then had to reply back to her "yes" that actually I'd already committed to another play date (so sorry for being such a knucklehead, etc.) and now I haven't heard back from Emily's mom and so I may have Emily on my doorstep as well.

Lord, I want to go through my day in peace. I want to have the unfolding beauty of a quiet and gentle spirit, which is of great worth in Your sight. I pray for peace. I can do all things through You.


In Your son's name I pray.
Amen
