God in heaven I am young and don't understand what it is like to be a parent, but it must be very hard because so many people are failing it these days.
I pray for mom and dad, God that you will help them to be good parents strong in ways you want them to be so I can look up to them with admiration and feel Confident that their instruction is right.
Help me, dear Lord to understand my parents remind me that when I don't get my way it is because they love me and not because they want to be mean or deprive me of a good time.
Help me, God when I become stubborn and refuse to listen to accept the fact that they have wisdom and experience because they were once teenagers, but I have never been a parent.
Put in my heart the respect and consideration they deserve for their years of hard work and sacrifice.
They raised me as best they could. Let me not repay them with grief or shame. Rather help me to give them obedience respect forgiveness and love. Most of all, God, while I still have my parents here on earth, help me to appreciate them and let them know I do.
Cori...That was AWESOME! I love...love...loved it. I have tears and chills. One thing I do know for sure is...Being a parent is really hard especially to teenagers...and if I am not crying...I am yelling...and if I am not laughing...I am praying. You guys are some of the BEST parents I know...and I know ALOT of parents :0) Thanks for sharing...it made my night. Luvs ~ Me
