Prayer for new mothers

Father, Psalm 12 cries out, "Help, Lord." Two words. They are enough.

I have been over-explaining my prayers. As if You need all the details. As if You will not help unless I explain it just right.

You do not need a long explanation. You just need me to ask.

Help, Lord. With this afternoon I am dreading. With my body that is not bouncing back. With the friendship I am letting drift. With my baby's tooth coming in tonight. With the prayer life I keep trying to start again.

I will not dress it up. I do not have the energy. Two words is all I have today.

Help, Lord. Help, Lord. Receive both as a full prayer.

Amen.
