In 1917, the United States government initiated a campaign called "baby week," during which the children's bureau promoted the well-being of babies in an effort to reduce infant mortality.

Also, they hoped that the campaigns would help babies in need of necessary medical care, as well as reaching out to pregnant mothers in the local community.

They even printed a prayer, written by Walter Rauschenbusch, in their "Baby Week Campaign" booklet, which was a government sponsored publication.

We can take this prayer as our own and continue to pray for babies, both born and unborn, that they may be protected from all danger.
