A prayer

Original writing, not a quotation of Scripture.

Lord, these children you gave me are the greatest gift and the greatest responsibility I have ever carried. I can’t protect them from everything, and I can’t make every choice for them forever, so I place them in your hands again today. Give them hearts that seek you and roots that hold steady no matter what culture or circumstance throws at them.

Let my home be a place where they learn to trust you because they first saw me trust you. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
