Prayer for Teenage Son
a parent's prayer
Dear Lord, Help me to love, without expecting anything in return. Help me to engage, even when I don't fully understand him. Help me to provide, quietly and gently to give good gifts. Help me to speak, not to sow criticism but encouragement. Help me to say sorry, to own up when I mess up. Help me to forgive, even when I feel hurt or ignored. Help me to hope, to breathe out joy and vision for the future. Help me to carry my son, through the patchwork of hopes, dreams, hurts, worries, anger and the joy of teenage years. Help me to remain open and soft To understand and not to judge My brilliant son. Amen. (a Christian prayer for a teenage son from www.lords-prayer-words.com) |
