Heavenly Father,
In this season of change, as I stand before the threshold of an empty nest, I seek Your guiding presence. You, who are the source of all comfort, fill my heart with peace and understanding.
Lord, remind me of Your promise in Isaiah 41:10: “Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.” As I watch my children step into the world, I trust that You are with them, as You are with me, leading us all with Your gentle hand.
Grant me the grace to embrace this new chapter of life with hope. Help me see the beauty in this space, once filled with laughter and chaos, and show me how to rejoice in the silence that now surrounds me. Let my home be a haven of love and welcome, ready for their return visits and new beginnings.
Help me, Lord, to nurture my own soul and to rediscover myself in this quiet. Guide me to new paths of service and growth that honor You and fill my days with purpose and joy.
As I transition from full-time caregiver to supportive advisor, may my prayers become the lifeline that blesses my children. Strengthen them with wisdom and courage, and surround them with Your protection.
Thank You, Father, for the gift of parenthood and the privilege of watching my children grow. Thank You for the grace that carries them—and me—through every stage of life. I rest in Your love, knowing that You have a plan and a purpose for each of us.
With a grateful heart, I pray,
Amen.
