7 Weeks Old

William is already 7 weeks old!

William's new-found smiles and coos have been a welcome addition to his good nature. He's starting to more consistently sleep longer stretches at night (about 5-6 consecutive hours...so nice) and is starting to reach out for Mommy's shirt, hair or necklace. He weighs in at 13 pounds and is growing stronger every day.

Healing prayer for William

God of all creation, you who spoke a simple command and brought forth light from the darkness, I call upon you now to send forth your miracle-working power into every aspect of William's being. In the same way that you spoke unto the dust of the ground when you created humankind in your own image, I ask you to send forth your healing power into William's body. Send forth your Word and command every part of William's body to come under complete and perfect health, strength, balance and harmony.

It is through you that William lives. With every breath he takes, he lives under your life-giving grace. I ask you to touch him now with the same miracle-working power that you used when you fashioned him inside his mother's womb. As surely as you have created William in you image and likeness, I believe that you can also recreate him now and restore him to health.

Please fill him with your healing power. Mend all that is broken; remove all sickness and disease from William's body.

Let the warmth of your healing love flood his entire being, so that his body may function whole, complete and renewed in your perfect health. I ask this, humbly, through my Lord, Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
