Our youngest of four children has moved into University Place Apartments in Birmingham, Alabama this weekend. Eric was SO excited, most of his friends had already left for college, so he didn't have a lot of good bye rounds to make, but he covered his bases.
We were happy for him, yet we'll also miss him.
Here are is a prayer from
A PARENT'S PRAYERS
for a college student
by Kathleen B. Nielson
PRAYER FOR HIS SOUL
All the other prayers, Lord,
take their places after this,
that you would own and guard his soul.
May he love Jesus more than life,
but more, may your love hold him fast
through all the journey you mark out.
Through valleys no one else will see,
please lead him, Lord, and bring him home
on the last day.
And sovereign Lord, again I give him up
into the hand of the one who died
to give him life.
