Prayer for new mothers

Anchors: John 17:23, John 17:26

Lord Jesus, in John 17 You prayed that You would be in us. That word is stronger than I usually let myself receive. I have lived this week as if I were running the house by myself, with You somewhere down the hall. But You are not down the hall. You are in. The same air I breathe over the crib at three in the morning is air You fill. Help me live today as someone You live in, not as someone left in charge while You stepped out. This work is not as alone as it feels. Amen.
