Build Me A Son


This Prayer from Douglas A. MacArther is on the window as you walk into my school. I noticed it right away and liked it. A month later I was drawn to the words on the window and began to connect to it in a deeper way. It was what I needed this week....
Oh Lord,
Who will be strong enough to know when he is weak,
and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid;
one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat,
and humble and gentle in victory.
Build me a son whose wishbone will not be where his backbone should be;
a son who will know Thee and that to know himself is the foundation stone to knowledge.
