A Prayer

Heavenly Father,
I have rarely been able to pray for myself. I feel that your blessings have been so abundant, that any prayers on my behalf could only be greedy. Right now, Lord, I must pray for myself and for our tiny family. I beg You, Dear Lord, please don't allow what would take away from our son. Please don't allow either my husband or myself to bear the cross of knowing there's a little one out there that belongs to just one of us. Please, God. Please, God. That would be even harder than any of the other pain caused by this. I beg you, Lord, not to add that.

I know that You can see a bigger picture than the pain we're feeling now. I also trust that You will take what You can from this and make it good. I pray that if you can't grant my request, You will teach us to accept Your Will.
