Musings of a Recovering Lutheran: Sweet Ps - a prayer for my son
I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, 

Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?

Then said I, Here am I; send me.

Isaiah 6:8 (KJV)

Sweet Ps - a prayer for my son



Almighty and gracious Heavenly Father, I come before You with thanksgiving.

I thank You for the wonderful blessing of my son J. Please bless him and watch over him every day of his life.

Lord, there is so little that I understand about my son's autism. Create in me a patient and kind heart. Help me to be not only my son's earthly father, but also his teacher.

Lord, I also ask that you create a clean and pure hear in me. Let my son see Jesus in me. Let him learn about the love of Jesus by watching me. Let him accept Jesus as his Savior. This in something that I cannot do by earthly means. Only by the power of the Holy Spirit may he come to You. Let me be an instrument of the Holy Spirit.

Lord, I thank you for my son's wonderful teachers at his school. They are so patient and kind, and have helped him so much. Please bless his teachers and their families.

Amen.

This is a beautiful prayer!

Thank you for visiting me today - you are correct - we may not always like the answers God provides to our prayers. However, He knows best.

Blessings,

Thank you for your comment. I agree that the nations including America is dealing with demonic attempts to silence our faith. God bless you and your precious son. I agree with you in prayer, for him. In Jesus Name.
