prayer for a new baby

Ziah Dwight -
may God make clear to you each road;
may He make safe to you each steep;
should you stumble, hold you;
if you fall, lift you up;
when you are hard pressed with evil,
deliver you -
and bring you at last to His glory

- excerpt from the section called "Coming Into The Light - Birth" in Celtic Daily Prayer:

When you are in doubt, be still, and wait;
when doubt no longer exists for you,
then go forward with courage.
So long as mists envelop you, be still.
Be still until the sunlight pours through
and dispels the mists --
as it surely will.
Then act with courage.
- - - Ponca Chief White Eagle

Depart from evil, and do good. Seek peace, and pursue it.
