Father, I join with robertsmom in this prayer. This prayer is on the heart of every mother, because we all want our children to grow up healthy, safe and strong in the Lord. I ask You to bless us with children who know You, who are confident enough to trust You, who are faithful enough to seek You. Keep their minds, bodies and spirits healthy and whole - nurture them with Your everlasting care and protection. Help us to know when to hold fast, and when we need to let go. Help us to praise our children, encourage their talents, nurture their faith. You are our help and our comfort. Please be with robertsmom, and all of us parents, I pray. Amen.
