A prayer I found in an old journal that describes what's on my heart tonight...

"God of faithfulness, help me to be steadfast in my commitments to these two children you have entrusted me. Help me persist in raising them to be people who will reflect your glory through ordinary days and extraordinary challenges. Please give me the gift of quiet persistence. Help me not be overwhelmed by the demands on my time, talents, and patience. Help me keep all things in proper perspective as my children and I travel together on this path of growth and development. I know my Lord, with your help, all of this is possible."

"Then I will always sing praises to your name as I fulfill my vows day after day."  ____Psalm 61:8
