my prayer

Lord I’m asking for Your help To raise my newborn son, give me strength and guide me cause I know that You’re the one. That sent this angel to me, a little heaven here on earth, for now I know my place in life… I’m no longer who comes first. Once I had no answer as to why it is I’m here, but when I looked into my baby’s eyes…. it all became so clear. This little bit of heaven owns me, heart and soul and it’s You that sent him to me, a greater love I’ll never know. So take these rugged hands of mine, help me to understand, just what it is I need to do to raise this little man. Help me build a boy that knows it’s You that holds the key, to all that heaven holds for us. Show him Your love through me.
