PARENT’S PRAYER:

Dear God,
There are days when I have hope, and days when I do not.  Many days are difficult and I become overwhelmed.  My affections are often turned away from you in days such as that and I wonder if you will bring any good out of autism.  The pure heartbreak of the disappointment alone is enough to bruise me in heart.  In times like that, Lord, I am most in need of your touch.  I need you to help rekindle my affections toward you.  It is in those days that I most need you to renew my ability to believe in your promises for me and for my son .  Therefore, Lord, I choose to allow you to penetrate my battered emotions and bring healing to my broken heart.  Set my feet back on course in days that I have gone astray.  Do not allow Satan to take advantage of my weaknesses in such times.  Instead, stir the gift of faith that you have deposited within me!  Cause me to be able to be strong and take heart with a new passion and hope.  You are faithful, God.  You have never failed.  My trust and hope are in you alone, who is well able to accomplish all that you have promised!
In Jesus’ Name,
Amen
