Prayer for my son

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

Lord, I know you know all that has happened.  It certainly wasn't what I wanted but I trust that You know better.  I am glad I found out the truth before I wasted anymore time or more of my heart. I know you know the awful things I said in the midst of my pain.  Some of it--they deserve.  And I do regret that I couldn't control my emotions or actions.  nothing excuses what I did.  And I'll do my best to make amends in time--though I doubt they care.  Right now they only forgiveness that matters to me is Yours for me and mine for those that hurt me.  I know You will deal with them.  I know that he didn't fit Your plan for my life.  I still need You to show me what Your plan is.  And I trust that You will.  Thank you for my family and friends that have stuck with me through this awful time.  Help me to stay off social media and anything else not meant for me to mend my heart, grow my faith or anything that takes my focus...

Day 1: Your family (Psalm 103:17-18)

Psalm 103:17-18 New International Version (NIV) 17  But from everlasting to everlasting      the  Lord ’s love is with those who fear him,      and his righteousness with their children’s children — 18  with those who keep his covenant      and remember  to obey his precepts. Lord, You know I have not done the best job as a mom. I like to believe that most of the time I did the best I could with what I had. I know I made MANY mistakes. I lacked patience. I focused too much on the wrong things. I wasn't the best example. But I did try. I loved them (and still love them) more than anything else. And almost every mistake I made came from wanting to raise them right. My prayer was always that they would have lives that were happy, well-adjusted and that they would know their purpose early and live for You.  I am so thankful that all were saved young and even though they aren't currently in churc...
