The Loving Prayer of a Mother for her Seminarian son
I’m in the middle of finishing a book review (due Wednesday) and studying for midterms (1 today/Tuesday, and 1 online to be completed by the 25th), but thankfully, my mom back in Toronto loves me so much that she took some time to email me a prayer. I didn’t get her permission to post this, but I’m sure she won’t mind!
“Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for calling Alex to study your words in Kentuchy. Thanks for Your guidance. Please be with Alex, grant him wisdom so that he can remember all the materials and help him to write his exam. Make him sleep well and have a clear and smart mind when he wakes up tomorrow. Please be with him and protect him whenever he goes. Thank you, God and praise the Lord. We pray through Jesus name, Amen.”
Yes and Amen!
I love my mom 
I’m glad you posted this Alex. Thank you!
I love u too.
Prayer is most important for a christian. My prayer is always with you.
John Piper said in his sermons on “How to Kill Sin”, after quoting John Owen’s comment “Be killing sin, or it will be killing you”, that his mother said about the same thing because mother’s intuit good theology since they don’t have time to read it. I can see from her prayer that your mom has intuited good theology as well. I guess we’ll just have to keep reading guys like Owen
