Prayer to Hold and Cuddle Infants Frequently to Promote Secure Attachment

Prayer

Lord God,
Thank You for designing touch as a source of comfort and connection. Bless every cuddle, embrace, and moment of closeness. Let infants feel wrapped in love through the arms that hold them, and may caregivers feel Your peace as they nurture these sacred bonds.
Amen.

Scripture Reflection (KJV)

“As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you.” — Isaiah 66:13

God uses the image of physical comfort to describe His love. Holding and cuddling are not indulgent; they are God-designed pathways for emotional safety, attachment, and healing.

Practice / Task

Schedule at least 10 uninterrupted minutes of holding or cuddling daily—no phone, no distractions. Focus on breathing slowly and being fully present.
