A short, Scripture-shaped new mothers prayer for an ordinary moment of Christian faith.

The prayer

A prayer to pray now

Father, You invite me to ask—even when You have already promised. So I will ask. Not because You forget, but because asking keeps my hand in Yours.

For my baby’s growing health. For my marriage in this tired stretch. For a friend who does not know how lonely I feel right now. For my own patience after dinner tonight.

I will not assume You are already on it without my asking. I will ask simply, then go back to my life and trust You with what I have lifted.

Hear me. Move where I cannot reach.

Amen.
