Father God,
I am so terribly sad. Sad because my baby is growing up. Not sad that she is growing up - that is a blessing, a privilege, and I am so very happy to see that and appreciate that I can witness it.
Sad for the baby that is gone.
My time with her as a baby, as a toddler, as a little girl, is ending.
And although I most certainly do not want another baby, I am sad that it is over.
Help me, Father God, to mourn the loss of my little girl, as I celebrate the beautiful girl that is developing in her place.
Help me be the mom to the grown kids I have.
Help me to fondly remember my time as a mom with young kids, but to not yearn for the past, but to apply my time to building the future that awaits me.
Heal my heart and help my kids to heal from the childhood wounds they have accrued.
Please forgive me for whatever wounds I have caused them.
Help them to forgive me for the wounds I have caused.
Bless them all, my Father God.
Because in the end, they are all still Yours.
Amen.
