Shame on Me!!!

I know, it's been a while.  Actually, almost a year.  Well, a year since I posted my prayer, NOT a year since I prayed.  I was actually praying in bed this morning when the overwhelming thought to blog again came over me.  Not sure why.  Maybe God is disciplining me...AGAIN.  But here we go again.  Join me in praying for all of our children as the first half of summer comes to a close and the countdown to the first day of school starts.
Heavenly Father, you know our hearts desires.  I know you have my children in the palm of your hand, and they know they don't ever want to jump from that grip.  They truely love being your children.  Last night, we were asked to pray over the theater that the girls have been performing in.  We did not ask them to join us, they just followed, joined hands and prayed with us.  It brings me such joy to know that they know the benefit of your divine presence in their life.  Father, I pray that you hold on tight to them as they enter the trials of Jr. High School.  Only you can keep them safe from the evil one.  Cover them with an extra measure of your Love and Peace as they begin preparing for school.  Take the anxiety of peer pressure away and give them joy in being who you created them to be.  Thank you Jesus, for letting me be their parent.  Give me wisdom and understanding as I guide them through the rough waters ahead, and give me joy in the process.   Amen
