Take Care of My Son Dear God

Heavenly Father I love my son.  He is the apple of my eye.  He's not perfect, Lord, but he's my boy.  I thank you for his smile and for his laughter.  I thank you for the twinkle in his eye that comes when he's about to do something he shouldn't do, but he will do because he loves the reaction.  I love the way he takes time to eat with me or just to have a cup of tea with me.  I thank you for his compassion and for his trust in You.  Please keep your arms around him as he serves our country.  Help him to stand strong.  Keep him focused and full of energy.  Cause him to have favor in the eyes of his superiors and in the hearts of those with whom he works and serves.  Bring  the right girl into his life and please make sure she is of your choosing.  Please bless him with peace and joy.  Help him to take on leadership roles with humility and with dignity.  Keep him safe, oh Lord and watch over him all the time.  Thank you for helping him to continue to grow up in a way that is pleasing to You.  Remind him dear Lord that he is yours and that means something.  Let him know that you are with him and that you won't leave him.  Please fill him with hope and remind him that he might be far from my eyes, but he's never far from my heart.  In Jesus name.  Amen.
