This week's post is a Parent's Prayer for a Child. The Bible tells us that children are a gift from the Lord. This parent's prayer will assist you in reflecting on God's Word and remembering his promises as you dedicate your precious gift back to God in prayer.
    Parent's Prayer for a Child

    Dear Heavenly Father,

    Thank you for this treasured child of mine. Although you have entrusted him/her to me, I know he belongs to you. Like Hannah offered Samuel, I dedicate my child to you, Lord. I recognize that he is always in your care.

    Help me as a parent, Lord, with my weaknesses and imperfections. Give me strength and godly wisdom to raise this child after your Holy Word. Please supply what I lack.
