My Prayer As A Single Mom
My God, I have two wonderful young boys'; the most precious gift I don't deserve. My heart melts into joy everytime I hear "momma, I love you". When I look into those blue eyes of theirs,when they kiss me, and hug me so tight. It seems my troubles vanish in that moment, and nothing else matters; except their laughter, and that glow on their faces. You know I would give them anything; i would give them the world if I could. Gadly sacrifice everything for them, even my own life if need be.
They bring me so much joy, oh, so much joy!! They give me hope, give me a purpose in life, and a meaning I have nave never known before. Surely, Lord, you have saved me through these precious boys. Through my boys, you have made known to me "How much you really love me".
I am so unworthy, O God. I feel so incapable of taking care of these precious boys', you have blessed me with. For what can I possibly give them? My Brokeness? My failures? My shameful past? For what can I teach these boys, for I had no teacher? How can I mold them to be the young men you want them to be? What shall a single mom, like me pray? Yet you gave them to me; you brought them unto my cold and shaking hands. Surely, you must know my weakenesses, and still you gave them to me. You also know I will callupon you to help me, and provide for the things I can't.
Help me, O God, heal my wounds; so I don't pass my bitterness to them. Heal me of my insecurities, that I may teach them to have confidence. Blot out my sins that they may not be cursed for mistakes they weren't even aware of; so they can have a wonderful future ahead of them. Fill my heart with love, even if I am alone. How can I possibly give away that which I don't have ? It certainly isn't easy being a single mom. Grant me the wisdom, and strength to face a harsh world. Help me to provide for them, and give them everything they need. Please Lord let me know that I am not alone, for you are there beside me; and you will be their father. These boys' are so blessed this I know, and I thank you for that you do, have done, and have in store for us. I thank you for showing us your boundless mercy, and unceasing love.
THIS IS MY PRAYER
THIS IS THE CRY FROM A BROKEN HEART, FROM A MOTHER WHO ONLY WANTS THE BEST FOR THESE BOYS'. THANKS FOR LISTENING, AND I WILL WAIT UPON YOU TO DIRECT MY PATH. I HANG ONTO YOUR WORD THAT STATES....
They that wait upon the Lord will renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Teach me Lord to wait. Isaiah 40:31
