and he has grown into a man and a soldier.
Heavenly Father, how I thank You for the joy I have found in this son that You gave me.
Give me the courage and grace to face the challenges that will inevitably face me as a single parent and may my philosophy be such that I cast ALL my care upon You before I try to deal with it in my own strength - knowing You have promised to carry all my burdens and to give me Your perfect peace in my heart when my mind is stayed on You – this I ask in Jesus name Provide the sort of quality time we need with each other so that we do not drift apart but establish a lifetime love and respect for one another. I pray that You would guard and protect the hearts and minds of the children and that You would draw us closer together and nearer to You. Give me the strength and vision to move forward in my life in the knowledge that You have promised never to leave me nor forsake me – and thank You that You have taken responsibility for feeding and clothing us with all that we need – I trust You Lord Jesus and thank You for Your many precious promises. Provide for my physical and social needs I pray, as well as for my spiritual and emotional needs. Grant me grace and wisdom as I seek to rear my children in the fear and nurture of the Lord in a world that has become so antagonistic towards everything that is connected with Jesus. Thank You that Your forgiveness is as wide as the ocean and that You do not hold my sins against me, but have washed them clean through by the precious blood of my Saviour, Jesus Christ our Lord. Forgive me for the things that I have done wrong and for the wrong choices that I have made. Heal the wounds that have bruised my heart, comfort my soul and let Your perfect peace guard my mind. and ask that You would uphold me with Your righteous right hand, every step of the way. I am depending on You Father to support me through this difficult time.
I pray for Your strength and guidance to provide for me and my children, for I know that I can not manage to do this alone. Loving Lord, I know that You have ordained that families consist of two parents, but I find myself alone with no loving partner as I would desire. and we pray that in a wonderful way You would meet the needs of each one at this time of loss, and draw them into a closer walk with Yourself - this I ask in the name of Your own, dearly beloved Son – Jesus Christ my Lord, Thank You that Your grace and pity is beyond our understanding and that Your peace can calm each aching heart and still the troubled mind of all who are grieving. Lord I know that there are others also who are going through this same, deep sadness and loss of their sons too, and I want to lift each and every one up to You and pray that You would comfort every mother and father who has had to go through the devastating loss of their son. and yet I know that You grieved over the death of Your dearly beloved Son, Who gave His life as a ransom for others so that we might believe in Him and be given life everlasting – and in my heart I know that there is no-one who understand the loss of a son like You and there is no one who can comfort the heart of those that are grieving more than our heavenly Father – for You are the God of all comforts, Who comforts us in all our afflictions and pain. Heavenly Father, I kneel before You grieved in my spirit and with deep pain in my heart, due to the loss of my son, whom I loved so dearly and who has been taken from me so cruelly.įather I know that he is in Your presence now, but I have been left with a gaping hole in my life that is hard to express and impossible to explain.
