Momma’s Prayer

July 23, 2012 By 5 Comments

Dear Lord, PJ and Christian

I know Your wisdom is infinite,

and you gave me these babies to take care of.

Some days I’m not really sure why You trusted me with them.

They are precious, and I often don’t feel equipped to give them what they need.

I do know they need me to protect them,

and to love them,

and to teach them right from wrong. spiderman

I also know that they need me to let go,

and to let them learn on their own, to grow and make mistakes.

Please, God, help me to be enough.

Show me how to keep them safe as they earn their independence.

Put the words of affirmation they need to hear on my tongue.

Help me to see them grow into the Godly young men and women this world desperately needs.

Let me teach them grace and humility.

I don’t know why you chose me, God, but I am grateful every day that you did. 3 kids

Ease my tears, Lord, as they begin to walk away from my arms. 

May I find joy in their growth, 

and share their triumphs.

I pray these things in Your glorious name,

Amen.

About Cassie E

My name is Cassie. Over a decade ago, I fell in love with a great guy. Luckily, he fell in love too. With me, even. Now he’s my husband. We did it just like the chant says, “First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes a baby in the baby carriage.” And another. And another. And another.
Now, I’m the momma. You read it right, we have four kids. They aren’t perfect, but they are really cute. We homeschool the little darlings. With any luck, they will turn out to be productive members of society, and not living in our basement playing RPG’s until they are 40. We also have a house, two cars, and three furry beasts.
I won’t claim to be an expert at anything, but I wear a lot of hats. I’m not only a wife, mother, and teacher, but a cook, a maid, a reader, a craft-nut, a personal shopper, an accountant, a landscaper, a stylist, a nurse, a best friend, and the list goes on.

Why do I do all these things? Well, friends, that’s just what momma does.

    My boys are 10 and 7, and I’m learning that the hardest part of parenting is knowing when to let go. Recently I fought tears on the day my oldest graduated from children’s church to our preteen ministry…he’s growing up too fast. They both are. You have a precious family!

    My oldest turned 6 yesterday, and is getting so tall, so big . . .
    I loved the prayer, and could relate to every word.
    *hugs*
    Thank you, Cassie.

    With the little one on the way, I may need to do as the other two have said and post this to my fridge for the daily reminder. Such a sweet, heart felt prayer. Thanks for sharing.
