A Mother's Prayer. From Sadness, for Love.

We will for always remember our grown children as the innocent laughing souls they were, and it hurts us deeply when we see them in pain. Pray for love; pray that they feel God's love.

By John Lee ·


A mother's prayer; a prayer from despair, for love and out of trust and faith in the Lord.

God, my heart is aching and I need your strength.

I pray that You will fill my heart with love and courage and strength; I pray that you will let me feel your presence in this dark time.

I pray that my daughter will feel how much love surrounds her

I feel boundless love for her. I think of her as a little girl splashing in the tub, and my heart breaks to see her as she has become. I love her so much, and I know that You love her more than I ever can.

Please, let her feel this love.

Please let her use this love to break free from drugs.

Please show both of us the path we must walk.

Amen
