Two week wait (2ww) prayer

Dear God,

Please grant me the strength …

To take one day at a time

To refrain from obsessing about each twinge and ache I experience in my body

To be kind to myself

To enjoy the wondrous mystery of the 2ww

To understand the difference between healthy hope and unhealthy expectation

To accept success and failure as if they are one and the same

To preserve my original self amidst all this craziness

To abstain from hurting others during my stressful times

To hide my pain and wear a smile on my lips always …

To use my pain to grow even better without getting bitter

To stay positive so that my loved ones remain happy and tranquil

To be serene amidst all the uncertainity

To be content for all my blessings

To be grateful for the blessings I possess

To bear the disappointment in my partner’s face if the result is negative

To understand life is not all about winning but about trying

To accept that life can be very unfair at times

To realize that many others have to bear much more pain than I have to

To love and appreciate life even more ...

To hold on to hope yet have the wisdom to know when to quit

To trust that whatever the outcome, I will emerge a stronger and a better person

To gain the ability to achieve peace of mind that I did my best

And .....

If the pregnancy test turns out to be positive ...

Let me have the goodness to accept my blessing with humility

To hope for the best yet be prepared for the worst

And to continue to live life with utmost gratitude

With love,

Manju
