Worried Mom

This was written for a friend of mine when she was about to let her son go on a journey far away from home. She struggled and worried but in the end the decision was made not for him to go due to other circumstances. She knows who she is. I know she's struggling with a few issues right now so I wanted to post this in hopes it will encourage her as well as any other mothers out there who are worried about their children. Whether it be that they are away at university or run away or just simply have a sleep over. The Lord is with us and our children no matter where we are. Give your worries to the Lord. His watching over your children.

Prayer for a Worried Mom

Dearest Lord

Please take the worries of my friend

And crumble them into a ball

Then crush them to pieces with 

Your Mighty Hand

Throw them far away

Replace them with strength and courage

Fill her heart with love and anticipation of the stories yet to come

When her son returns home

And while he is away

Keep her thoughts directed on those who stay

And keep her worries at bay

I pray You throw an extra dose of strength and courage her way

I pray this day for my friend

That she takes from You trust

That her little man will be just fine with us

We’ll open all our hearts to him and 

Blanket him with all the love 

Just as he has at home

Thank you Lord for giving us this chance to help a friend

Please help us to make this a memorable one for her young son

Bless my friend, a worried mom

With all the blessings You can give.

In our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ’s name

Amen.

Mathew 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own
