Please pray for safety and wisdom for my daughter who is testing the boundaries of her own values. She is trying EVERYTHING and when I set limits she runs away. Her father abandoned her long ago and I am in this all alone and frightened for her future. Please pray for me to that I have wisdom power and courage to always do the correct thing in dealing with all of this. Oh god help me.

Lord, please protect both the mom and the daughter in this situation. Grant the mother the strength and the clarity to know what to do when her daughter is forcing her will against hers. Father, soften the heart of the child, and let her become more open to abiding by her mom's rules. Fill her with respect for her mom, and keep calling her to you. Please surround the mom with the support she needs to reclaim her daughter, Lord, some smart and loving people who might be able to help.

amen

This is a prayer that parents can use for Their Children. I hope that it helps. You are in my prayers...

O glorious St.Joseph, to you God committed the care of his only-begotten Son amid the many dangers of this world. We come to you and ask you to take under your special protection the children God has given us. Through holy Baptism they became children of God and memebers of His Church. We consecrate them to you today, that through this consecration they may become your foster children. Guard them, guide their steps in life, form their hearts after the hearts of Jesus and Mary.
St. Joseph, who felt the tribulation and worry of a parent when the Child Jesus was lost, protect our dear children for time and eternity. May you be their father and counselor. Let them, like Jesus, grow in age as well as in wisdom and grace. Preserve them from danger and make them strong in temptation. Give us the grace to be united with them in heaven forever. Amen.
