My body is a temple of the living God. Lord, I became aware of this in new ways as You formed life within me - a miracle, a blessings, beyond my control. And now as my breasts nurture this baby (another miracle - the milk!), I'm aware of how all I eat and drink can affect my child's digestion and health. I won't smoke around baby or expose us to harmful chemicals. My bod is literally NOT just my own anymore. But in truth, it never was. Once I invited Your Spirit inside, I surrendered my body to You, Lord and should have always been keenly aware of how I use or abuse Your temple. Thank You that this baby is causing me to remember the spiritual truth that I am Yours. Please help me care for this temple by using wisdome and caution about what I eat, watch, surround myself with; how I sleep, exercise and worship. I am Yours, Lord. Not just for my child's sake, but for Your glory, help me to "purify myself from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God"
Tip: There are no know absolutes to avoid that cause gassiness or reflux in babies when you are nursing, but many moms agree to watch out for onions, broccoli and dairy.
