My four boys are all men in their twenties. I could not stop time; they rushed into adulthood before I wanted them to. Now they are in God’s hands; I can only pray for them and give advice when asked. 

One of my continual prayers for my children is that God will allow them to connect with friends who also follow Jesus. Repeatedly I ask God to send them people who will help them walk on the straight and narrow. Each day my prayer pleads with God for them to have positive Christian influences in their lives. 

I cannot walk through this life with them as I once did, but I hope someone will come alongside them and help them lead a life of faith.
