Prayer for K

Almighty God, our heavenly Father, gracious and giving, kind and just, merciful and holy, I ask you accept this prayer, humbly offered in the name of Christ Jesus.

May the light of love that is your very nature be something little K is able to understand and cling to, so that the turbulence around her does not toss her about, but rather let you be an anchor for her, a port in the storm, as best as she can understand it at her tender age.

May her father -- a good man, possessed of considerable gifts of intellect and grace -- be an instrument of your glory, so that he might be used by you to extend your love and goodness to K. Grant him all that you deem necessary to flow your love through him to K.

May her mother, in some way known only to you, come to understand the troubles that exist, and accept the healing touch of your almighty hand in her life.

Christ Jesus, lay your hand on K ... and allow the love that is yours and has always been yours flow to her, to touch her precious heart, and to comfort her. Assure her, dear Lord, that in you there is refuge, and peace, and hope, and love.

In your name, to your glory.

Amen
