Father God, I lift up every mother suffering from post partum depression to you this morning. Many of us are celebrating Mother's Day this weekend, but there are some mom's or expectant moms that wishes they weren't pregnant because of this mental health condition.

Usually, mothers experience the "baby blues" which lasts up to 2wks (irritabilty, restlessness, crying, etc.); however with post partum depression, the symptoms lasts longer, moms contemplate suicide, hurting their child and have the inability to care for their baby(ies). I ask that you heal them dear Lord right where they are and please remove this dark cloud out from up over their heads.

Please shine your light in their direction that their affect becomes brighter so that they may be able to bond joyfully with their child/children. May their spouse, or baby's dad be supportive but when they are not due to their unwillingness, or lack of understanding, please send these mothers the extra pair of nonjudgmental, compassionate, empathetic, and loving hands that will treat them with tender loving care until their change comes in the mighty name of Jesus I pray, Amen.

☎📝If you or someone you know is suffering from post partum depression, please speak with your primary health care provider, pastor, etc. for a referral to a therapist and/or a post partum new mother's group in your area. There is nothing to be ashamed of when there are those who specialize in this type of work and would love to help you through this difficult time.

God Bless!
