Lord, help me to get through my son's teenage years and help me to get past all the anger and the tears When the confrontations and arguments begin, Please help me to remember and to try and understand that although he thinks he's grown-up and knows all there is to know that, he's really just a child with a lot more years to grow And somehow make him understand that I'm trying to do my best and I'll be here for him ALWAYS to put my love to the test And let him know that even though I get mad, and yell, and cry that there is noone on this earth that loves him more than I And maybe when he is grown and finally is a man then just maybe he will finally understand But, until these teen years pass, LORD help me to get through and any time I have a doubt,I'll put my faith in YOU
Reason for writing:
When my son was 5, he was diagnosed as ADHD. At 13 he was more than I could handle. I put him in a hospital for behavioral management, for thirty days. I felt like a failure as a mother. I wrote this for him.(and for me.)
