Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him.
Psalm 127:3
One of the most precious gifts given to me was my son Emmanuel. While I created this image I was moved greatly on how valuable he is to me. As I negotiated this statement there has been some challenges that are before me that need to be addressed in order to line up with your will Lord. The two thousand mile separation offers the greatest challenge concerning our relationship. Financially I have failed to meet my responsibility concerning his care.
As men we all have challenges when it comes to will of God concerning our children. We are inclined naturally to take a position as head for it is instinctive of us to do so. Lord encourages me through your word and Spirit to see past myself in order to present your glory to Emmanuel. Help me to imagine your way and not the way of the community, nation and world concerning my son. . Our culture has moved the image of father to the back burner with it’s misconception of the role of the father. Help us Lord to overcome the deadbeat and worthless spirit associated with fatherhood in the African American and American culture. Lord we know that with force concerning the financial and custodial arrangements will encourage failure and eventually great challenges.
Lord I pray your goal concerning the wonderful inheritance and tremendous reward concerning my son. Let not the force of government, ignorance, hatred, indifference or judgment concerning his mother hinder our relationship in any way. Thank you for your increase that I may be a blessing unto the glory of God. Amen.
