These are the words I was told by one of my daughters when she was ten. Now it is time to apply the words to her life. Wow! Letting go is hard! Trusting the Lord to care for your children is probably my biggest struggle. As they begin their journey I have to let go and that can be hard because as they want me to let go, they want me to tell them what to do.
So my prayer lately as gone like this:
Dear Lord,
You told me years ago that you were loaning me the girls. That they are yours. You have challenged me to trust you to care for them. But Lord, when they fall, I ask you to pick them up. When I want to rescue them, you will keep me from doing it. I am at your mercy. Amen"
