~Prayer for My Child~

I come to You in Jesus name and give Elijia to You. I'm convinced that You alone
know what is best for him. You alone know
what he needs. I release him to You
to care for and protect, and I commit myself to
pray for everything concerning him that I
can think of or that You put upon my heart.
Teach me how to pray and guide me in what to
pray about. Help me not to impose my own will
when I'm praying for him, but rather
enable me to pray that Yours will be done in
his life.

Thank You that I can partner with You in raising
him and that I don't have to rely on the
world's unreliable and ever-changing methods
for child rearing, but that I can have clear
directions from Your Word and wisdom as I pray
to You for answers.

Thank You, Lord, for the precious gift of this
child. Because Your Word says that every good
gift comes from You, I know that You have
given himto me to care for and raise. Help
me do that. Show me places where I continue
to hang on to him and enable me to release
him to Your protection, guidance, and
counsel. Help me not to live in fear of possible
dangers, but in the joy and peace of knowing
that You are in control. I rely on You for
everything, and this day I trust my child to You
and release himinto Your hands.

Father,
I come in agreement, submiting Elijia completely and fully to Your love, mercy, power, will and purpose. I pray that You will supply the wisdom and truth and allow the right medical decisions to be made by his doctors, nurses and staff. May family and friends be faithful, trusting and obedient to Your voice. May there be a peace in the hearts of all knowing that the GOD who created him, knows, loves and cares for him, too!

In the name of Jesus
Amen
