Prayer for new mothers

Father, in Zechariah 3 You showed Joshua the high priest standing before the angel, with Satan at his right hand to accuse him. That is what some mornings feel like. I stand. The accuser whispers at my shoulder. He knows every way I have failed. But You answer for me. You tell the accuser to be silent. You take off my filthy garments and put a clean robe on me. Send me into this day in the robe, not in the accusation. The accuser does not get the last word. You do. Robe me again this morning. Amen.
