Another step of releasing him further and fully trusting in God's care for him.<br /><br />As I read your post I was reminded of the prayer posted on the inside of our garage door entrance to our house. From the time my son was 5 years old, we would stop, hold hands, and I would pray this every day before we began our walk to school. Hope it brings encouragement to another Mom:<br /><br />Dear Lord,<br />Please hold his little hand<br />When I cannot be there;<br />Surround him with Your angels,<br />And keep him in Your care.<br /><br />Bring to his mind the wisdom<br />We've shared throughout the years,<br />And hold him with Your comfort<br />To banish all his fears.<br /><br />Lord, help me to believe You'll<br />Care for him like me;<br />And teach him when I'm gone<br />It's Your face he can see.<br /><br />(Written by Marybeth Cuccie, for her son, Christopher)<br /><br />Jesus loves ALL His children and I'm glad that includes you and me today,<br />JoyJoyfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00010498759199040612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4154405870041249691.post-37140548913508471102009-04-22T20:04:00.000-04:002009-04-22T20:04:00.000-04:00Your devotional and blog was just what I needed. ...Your devotional and blog was just what I needed. My son, who has Crohn's disease, is my "Boo Boo Queen". We have watched God heal him (twice) even when the doctors didn't think he would live. Yet I still worry every time he doesn't look right or sound right. He is 22 and my daughter is 19 and there isn't a day that I don't go through those "what if" conversations with myself. I know God is able but I am still struggling in this area. It was so nice to see that I am not alone in this struggle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4154405870041249691.post-21331603261156151072009-04-22T17:55:00.000-04:002009-04-22T17:55:00.000-04:00Tracie

My children are only 3 and 8 months so I have a while before they are off adventuring without me but there are still worries that I have for them.Goat Galhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03357281106627958793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4154405870041249691.post-72778266785334567652009-04-22T16:41:00.000-04:002009-04-22T16:41:00.000-04:00I am moved to tears over the stories you have shar...I am moved to tears over the stories you have shared here in the comments! Thank you so much for your encouragement, but mainly for sharing with me how God is so divinely working in each of your lives and intervening in just the perfect way in the perfect timing. His works are so amazing.

I am what some would call and extremely overprotective mon of 13 and 11 year old boys. I am really trying to loosen up some but it is hard. I, too, have all of those senerios running through my head. Thioe dreadful "what if's". A lady at my church told me several years ago what he mother told her..."God is the greatest babysitter your children will ever have!" We have been through a lot of medical issues with my oldest one since he was born but God has ALWAYS been right there with us. Thanks again for the devotion. And thank you God for understanding a mother's heart.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4154405870041249691.post-21388119778055488742009-04-22T10:32:00.000-04:002009-04-22T10:32:00.000-04:00Thank you Tracie.

My 17 year old daughter who is pregnant has moved out of our home and in with her 17 year old boyfriend because we won't let the baby's father move in with us. My husband and I were talking this morning about how she is in God's hands.We have tried everything to convince her to come back home, all to no avail. In fact, our attempts have only made thinggs worse. I didn't mean to open up my e-mail,a devotional from Christianity.com titled "In God's Hands" but it miraculously happened anyway. I cannot tell you how comforting and reassuring your words were and then when I logged onto your blog I was blessed with even more reassuring words(The Boo Boo Queen). We've shed a lot of tears over our prodigal, but have come to remember that she is God's child and is in His hands. The opening of your article this morning was no coincidence, just divine intervention. God is so good.Rebeccanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4154405870041249691.post-73182735658389147662009-04-22T09:44:00.000-04:002009-04-22T09:44:00.000-04:00Thanks, Tracie.

Your P31 devotional and your blog post today ...Wow! Your P31 devotional and your blog post today are amazing! Further more, they're just what I need for today! My oldest (age 13) is going to the Middle East with my mother (not me!) next month on a Christian service project and I have all kinds of worrisome scenarios running through my head. <br /><br />Worry is one of my problem areas. When my Bible study leader asked me to talk about it in the class, I resisted laughing. Instead, I gave myself a lecture and wrote a piece for Heart of the Matter: http://heartofthematteronline.com/from-worry-to-worship-in-six-steps/ I figure the more reminders I get about this topic, the more I'll be reminded of Who is really in control.<br /><br />Thanks again!<br />BethanyBethany LaShellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11790803944431508495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4154405870041249691.post-32452263155532533932009-04-22T09:05:00.000-04:002009-04-22T09:05:00.000-04:00Thank you so much for your blog and Proverb 31 dev...Thank you so much for your blog and Proverb 31 devotional for today. My oldest child is 19 and rebelling and out of our home. As I read this I remembered the countless times God protected her as a baby and toddler. How she never caught a cold as a child, but the older she got and the more tom-boyish she was, stitches and doctor visits became our norm. And now she is out there, living her life away from the Lord and although I have my moments of fear and worry, I know God has a VERY STRONG, protective grip on my girl. My heart breaks for her choices, but I know her testimony will be even greater. I can rest in Him that in spite of her choices, God is not done with her and my husband and I will continue to give her right back to the Father!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
