| To my Child. The things I can do and cannot do. I can share your life, but I cannot live it for you. I can teach you things, but I cannot make you learn. I can give you directions, but I cannot always lead you. I can allow you freedom, but I cannot account for it. I can take you to church, but I cannot make you believe. I can teach you right from wrong, but I cannot decided for you. I can teach you respect, but I cannot force you to show honor. I can tell you about the facts of life, but I cannot build your reputation. I can tell you about lofty goals, but I cannot achieve them for you. I can teach you to obey, but I cannot answer for your actions. I can warn you about sins, but I cannot make your morals. I can love you as my child, but I cannot place you in God's family. I can pray for you, but I cannot make you walk with God. I can teach you about Jesus, but I cannot make him your Savior. I can teach you about prayer, but I cannot make you pray. I will always love you, but their is one who loves you more then I.

| A little different prayer for yourself! Dear Father, Holy is your name. Please help me change. Help me to see how much I need your wisdom and how little I need my own. Keep me from being blinded by what I do not have, so that I can see what I do have. Guide me dear Father to always speak your true words. Help me to look at others and see what I can do for them instead of what they can do for me. Help me to give all the glory to you for the many great things you have done and take no credit for the little I have accomplished. Help me to be humble enough to listen to you and courageous enough to speak for you. Help me please to remember what good things YOU have done for me, for you grace is mighty and your love unending. To remember how precious and how high the cost was for the blood of our Lord and Savior that covers are sins. Help me Father to be the kind of person who will bring pleasure to you and not to greive you. Thank you Father most of all for the Gift of your Son, who suffer not because of any sins of his,on earth but for ours. I thank you also for the blessing of the Holy Spirit, who will help guide us if we are willing to listen. I know dear Father that none of these things I am worthly to ask for but because you love us I know I can. In Christ Jesus most royal and holy name I ask. Amen |
