Dear Lord, Please give daily strength to the mom who is serving her child whose special needs are sometimes greater than what she can handle. May she know that you are there with her. Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10 Give this mom the protection of God to deflect the stares and comments from strangers. But you, Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high. Psalm 3:3 Help her to not take to heart the well-meaning comments of others. May friendships and relationships be strengthened by words of sensitive encouragement. And may there be forgiveness when someone hurts her feelings by words of insensitive advice or judgement. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. Colossians 3:13 May supportive friends and moms walking similar paths enter her life so she does not feel so alone. Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work; if one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 Give her perseverance as she struggles. Lots and lots of it. And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulations bring about perseverance. Romans 15:5 and MORE than anything, help her to see her child as you do, which is in YOUR image. So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Genesis 1:27 AMEN
