Dear God, show me truth.  Show me your will and direction for my life.  God, please grant me the power to carry it out rather than the constant worry and striving to make it happen on my own.  For my daughter; grant a deep and abiding knowledge of who you  are-and are meant to be- for her.  Grant that she be always a fulfilled and loved woman, peaceful and wise at heart whether single or in a relationship.  For my son; I ask that you grant him an awareness and revelation of truth:  who YOU are, God of the Universe, and who he is to be.  Give to my son power and strength and wisdom and boldness in the things of the true and living God.  For the one estranged, who, because of his raging and insults has become my enemy, I pray for the higher good to master him.  I pray he would have truth and beauty and self-awareness.  For my grown and settled children, I pray that you would continue to knit them together in a strong cord of love and ethics.  Bring out the best in them.  You have given each of them marvelous strengths.  Burst on them at every turn in beauty, truth, joy, the energy of life and love.  And for my friends, my listening ears; I pray your protection on them, that my “viruses”  would not attach to their “systems”, but that they would remain whole, beautiful, joyous, successful, and wise.  May it be.
