MIDWEEK PRAYER

I found this on the internet.  It was from father to son - I have adjusted it.

Dear Lord, 

Thank you for the gift of my children - their lives, their laughter, and the strength they carry even on the days they say they are "fine".  Lord, I ask that you watch over their health - body, mind and spirit.  Protect their bodies, calm their minds, and give them the energy they need for the road ahead.  Guard them from stress, pressure and the quiet worries they may carry but never talk about.  When they wake each morning, let them feel renewed and ready for the day you've prepared for them.  Give them clear thinking, steady strength and the courage to keep moving forward when life feels heavy.  Cover them with your protection wherever they go.  Surround them with your peace and keep them grounded in the strength that comes from you alone.  Remind them that they are never walking through life by themselves - they are deeply loved by me and even more, by you.  In Jesus name, Amen.
