Dear Lord, My Kids are Growing Up So Fast

A mother's prayer to her teenager kids.

Dear Lord, my kids are growing up so fast!  Please grace me with the strength to let them grow and let them find their way. Let it be a path of love, laughter, and freedom.

Lord, help me let go of my fears so they can go forward without my fears and with their heart open to new experiences and with the mighty courage that only your love can give. Lord, let them dare to chances without fear of making mistakes, let them realize mistakes come, whether chances are taken or not.

Grace me with patience to let them spread their wings wherever they may go. Please grace them with dreams that will make their hearts soar to places they have never been and grace them to take each challenge in life with love and understanding to themselves and others.

Let them know no matter how distant they may go all they do is ask for me and I will always be there in heart, spirit, and soul. Please grace them with the knowledge that I will always be there for them and, please grace me with comfort knowing that you will always be there for them too.  

Lord, please give them the strength to always continue and fight for their dreams, their loves, and their future, no matter what. Amen

For the soul that knows they can do more is the one that can do the most. My meaning in this is that as a parent, when the want is there to be a good parent, to ask for higher help, you are being the best you can be. That's a wonderful thing. Again, your words flow smoothly and reflect a gentleness with strength. Michael
