Pray for Families (Letting go and letting God)a

Greetings Prayer Warriors,

Now is a time when many kids are preparing for their return to school.  It can be a time of high anxiety for the children, but also for the parents, especially those sending their child(ren) away for the first time…be it for preschool or college!  Parent’s begin to realize during such times how little control their have over their children’s lives. This is a perfect opportunity to increase ones x faith and prayer life, for the Lord loves your children even more than you do!  One must take the leap of letting go and letting God. We must ask ourselves, do we really trust in the Lord?  Prayers to the Lord are always received with joy, unlike words spoken (dissertations given) to one’s children!

Lord, we place each child of ours in your hands. Guide and protect them. Allow the little ones to maintain their innocent and joyful hearts, sheltering them from all that seeks to expose them to the adult world. Give the older children/young adults wisdom, so that they may discern when “no” is the right and sometimes only answer. Give parents the grace to grow in faith, trusting that your plan is always the perfect one.  Jesus, we trust in you!

Behold, I am with you always.  Matthew 28:20

Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
