I pray dear Lord, give me patience,
When little hands tug at me,
With their many demands,
Give me gentle hugging arms,
To help protect them from rebellions harm.

Give me wisdom from above,
To teach these little ones of Your love,
Give me strength the rod not to spare,
That they may obey and live under Your care,

Give me a spirit....quiet and meek,
Let my words show kindness as I speak,
Give me the ability to teach from the heart,
To help my children learn Your Word from the start,

Give me the words You'd have me to say,
To teach my children to pray,
Give me times special moments to share,
That they may know, "MOMMY” really does care,
Give me hands that work willingly,
A steadfast example that I may be.

Give me courage to stand in Your might,
To teach my little ones to always do right,
Give me boldness to do all these and more,
That I may not be ashamed,
When I stand at Your door.

THANK YOU FATHER, IN JESUS NAME I PRAY AMEN.
