Our Pastor shared a beautiful prayer with us the other day and it touched me. I've printed it and posted it on my refrigerator, and now I'd like to share it with you.
Here's that prayer from Dr. James Dobson (in his book "Straight Talk to Men and Their Wives")
~“Lord, you know my inadequacies. You know my weaknesses, not only in parenting, but in every area of my life. As you broke the fishes and the loaves to feed the five thousand, now take my meager effort and use it to bless my family. Make up for the things I did wrong. Satisfy the needs that I have not satisfied. Wrap your great arms around my children and draw them close to you. And be there when they stand at the great crossroads between right and wrong. All I can give is my best, and I've done that before. Therefore, I submit to you my children and myself and the job I have done (and will do) as a parent. The outcome belongs to you.”
I hope this resonates with some of you too. Parents to be, those of us in the thick of it, parents of grown children, grandparents, it's a pretty versatile prayer.
Blessings to your day,
