Dear Lord,
When he was just a baby, I held him in my hands. As you hold me tenderly in yours, teach me to trust and not fear. For my son as I am your child, so is he. Let me give him up to you. Show me all authority comes only from you, Lord. Make me a true authority. Let me be strong for his sake. Teach me to discipline not with anger or frustration but with wisdom and love. Let me treat him as you treat me. Accepting, forgiving, guiding, letting him be him. Jesus gave his life for me. Let me give up my desires, my plans and my image of my son. Instead let your will be done. Let him find you as a friend and master. Let him find joy in your word. Through your mercy and grace,
In Jesus' name,
Amen
