Often, I pray...

Lord,

I need patience when my anger takes over.

Help me be a good example of how to handle my feelings.

Make me the nurturing mother You created me to be.

Help me to be honest.

Make me wise.

Thank You for these boys.

Remind me what it was like to be a child.

Remind me of the innocense.

Remind me of the wonder.

Remind me that they are Yours,

and we are here to raise them for Your glory.

Thank You for their father to teach them how to be men of God.

 Help us to discipline them rightfully,

with the right heart.

Help me to love them unconditionally.

To let them grow, and become who You want them to be,

not for my glory, but for Yours.

Bless them in their lives as You have blessed me with their lives.

Thank You for these boys,

Amen.
