[QUOTE="ksm, post: 703197, member: 12511"] Feeling Sad, a couple days ago I posted on your thread that I was going to start saying positive words, affirmations or prayers over my child/family. I am not good at the spoken word thing. I searched for some on the Internet and here is one of my favorites. G*d, this world is hostile. And sometimes violence and pain fall on good and innocent people. As parents we see this and the insecurity these threats spark in us are sometimes immobilizing. We cannot insure the safety of our own children. Our reach is too short, and we can never even anticipate all the risks they might face. Often our imaginations run wild. Our fears for our children – and for ourselves seeing our children in danger or pain – can overwhelm us. G*d, when we come to the end of our ability to control things we turn to you. We ask for your protection over our children, over their choices, over the friends they make, over the encounters they have with other adults. G*d, stand guard. We do not always understand how your protection works. Still, we ask for your presence in the lives of our kids. Who else can we trust, but you? We certainly cannot secure their lives ourselves. And you do promise to guard and protect when we ask. ‘The L*rd is my refuge and strength, an ever present help in trouble.’ This is the promise we claim for our children. Be ever present with them, and keep them from danger and sickness, violence, foolishness, accidents of nature. Send angels to be beside them today. When we can’t trust ourselves, we trust You. FS...you had mentioned your faith, and quoted by your mom. You seem to be a spiritual person...this prayer is my way of letting go and let God... I have been reading it out loud in my car when I drop my daughter off at school each morning. KSM [/QUOTE]
