O Heavenly Father, in whose hands are the hearts of all your children: Grant us the faith that commits all to you, without question and without reserve; that trusting ourselves wholly to your love and wisdom, we may meet all that life may bring, and death itself at last, with serenity and courage; through your Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

we heard the above collect last night at church in the tenebrae service. it really stuck with me. i especially appreciate the line: "that trusting ourselves wholly to your love and wisdom, we may meet all that life may bring... with serenity and courage." what better thing to ask for before entering into the challenge of labor and childbirth?
will you pray this prayer for me too?
