Heavenly Father,
I come before You with a heart open to Your love and guidance. As a parent of a special needs child, I seek Your wisdom and strength to navigate this incredible journey.

Lord, I trust in Your promise that You are with us always (Matthew 28:20). Please fill me with Your grace and patience, equipping me to be the parent my child needs. Help me to see my child through Your eyes, recognizing the unique gifts You have placed within them.
Father, in moments of exhaustion and uncertainty, may Your strength be my foundation. When I feel overwhelmed by the physical demands, lead me to rest in Your gentle embrace, where I can find rejuvenation and peace.
Embrace my child with Your love. Let Your presence be a source of comfort and joy for them, providing healing and hope. I ask for Your guidance in making decisions that honor Your plans for their future.
Grant me the empathy to understand their struggles and the wisdom to celebrate their achievements, however small they may seem. May I be an advocate and a voice of encouragement, reflecting Your unconditional love.
In the face of challenges, remind me of Philippians 4:13: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Let this truth be my anchor, empowering me to face each day with courage and resilience.
Conclusion:
Thank You, Lord, for entrusting me with this precious journey. I am grateful for Your unwavering support and the grace that sustains me. Guide me always, that I may walk by faith, hand in hand with You.
In Jesus’ name, I pray.
Amen.
