A prayer for mothers

I wrote this prayer to express the joys/concerns/etc I feel as a new mom.

The New Mother's Prayer
J .L. Albin

Lord, help me to be the mother my son thinks I am.
Give me the patience to meet his needs without frustratration,
The understanding to know the hard times will pass,
And the strength to trust my abilities as a parent.
Remind me that each day is precious and fleeting
And that I will only hold him in my arms a short time.
Grant me the confidence to be the mother I choose to be
And guide me when I feel helpless, lost, or unsure.
Let my son feel my love in all my actions
And help me to protect and nurture him all of my days.
