The Mother's Prayer

Written by Luz Leigh - 23 February 2008

The mother knelt in prayer.

Father, protect my children from all harm.

Such a broad prayer, my child, replied the Father.

Which child and from what specific harm?

With tears streaming down her face, the woman said:

Father, there is David; keep the devil out of his life as he strives to serve you. He has learned to love you and accept Your love in return after so many years of following afar. Please continue to give him good health and a job.

There is Don; keep him safe from physical as well as spiritual harm. Let not there be trouble while he is pulling that extra security job tonight. You know where he is; place your shield of protection around him. Please continue to bless him with good health.

Then there is Tim; keep the devil out of his life; let not the evil one bring unhappiness into his family. Draw his wife and children close to you, following the leadership of Tim. Father, you have taught us that the husband is the spiritual leader of the family, so for him I ask your blessings of faithfulness and a helping of righteousness. Please give him peace tonight as he lays his head on the pillow. You know his needs; only You can fill them.

For my sweet daughter, Heather, I ask your continued blessing of physical and spiritual safety. As she travels those highways so much each week, please give her traveling grace. For strength to be the Christian wife and mother she is, I ask You always to guide her in what she is to do.

Thank you for your constant care over these my precious children that you entrusted to me.

In the name of Your blessed and only Son, Jesus Christ, do I pray.

Wait, Lord, another request.

Remember Joyce next week as she goes to the doctor to see if there is anything else that can be done for, and these are her words, "my old failing heart." Using Your healing power, guide her doctors in the right decision.

And another request.

Oh, and let's not forget Jon. For Jon's miracle I continue to pray. He needs You as the Great Physician to perform a miracle and give back his voice and the use of his arms.

Wherever my sweet granddaughter Patsy is, keep her safe from physical and spiritual harm. Draw her back onto Your path, guiding her every footstep.

Oh, yes, another request.

For Craig's radio ministry, through his beautiful music and the preaching of Your Word, bless his every effort.

Wait, I'm not through yet.

Father, will you continue to bless the ministry of Brandon and Stephen as they spread hope among people around the world through the website they administer in Your name. May souls be saved and comfort be brought to the masses that go there for help.

For my salvation and health I thank you. There are so many other things for which I am grateful; you know my heart.

Now I will close this prayer of "wants" and believe that Your will be done for it is all asked in the name of Jesus.

Amen.

If I had never had a problem I'd never have known God could solve it.
