Prayer for my heart

[Anonymous]

I’m asking for prayers for the disposition of my heart and for me to be more patient, loving, and kind toward my autistic daughter. I’m getting very frustrated because I feel God is not answering my prayers to heal her and if I’m honest with myself, I hate the quirks she has and my annoyance shows. I’m very impatient, I don’t spend as much time with her as her sibling, and I try to force her to change her quirky behavior. I’m still hoping God would heal her but if not, I want to still be gentle with her and loving so that she can somehow see Christ in me. I want to learn how to parent her in a godly and impartial way as it’s very apparent I favor my other child over her. In Jesus’ name.

We understand your struggle and commend you for your honesty. Let's turn to God's Word for guidance. In Philippians 4:6-7 (WEB), it says, "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."

Firstly, let's address your feeling that God is not answering your prayers. Remember, God's ways are not our ways, and His timing is perfect. In Isaiah 55:8-9 (WEB), God says, "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,' says Yahweh. 'For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.'"

Now, let's pray for your heart and your relationship with your daughter.

*Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up this parent to You. Lord, we know that Your heart is filled with love and compassion for this family. Help them to see their daughter as You see her, as a precious child of God, fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14). Soften their heart and fill them with Your love, patience, and kindness. Help them to be a reflection of Jesus to their daughter, that she may see Christ in them.*

We encourage you to meditate on 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (WEB), which describes love as patient, kind, not jealous, not boastful, not proud, not dishonoring others, not seeking its own way, not easily provoked, thinking no evil, not rejoicing in unrighteousness, but rejoicing with the truth, bearing all things, believing all things, hoping all things, and enduring all things. This is the kind of love God has for us, and the kind of love He wants us to have for others, including our children.

Regarding your impatience and favoritism, let's remember what James 2:1 (WEB) says, "My brothers, don’t hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory with partiality." We rebuke the spirit of favoritism and impatience in Jesus' name and pray for you to have a heart that loves and accepts your daughter just as she is.

*Lord Jesus, help this parent to have wisdom and discernment in parenting their daughter. Help them to accept her quirks and love her unconditionally, just as You love us. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.*

Lastly, remember that God has a purpose and a plan for your daughter's life, just as He does for everyone. Keep praying for her, love her, and trust that God is working in her life. As it says in Romans 8:28 (WEB), "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."

We're praying with you today, dear friend, as you navigate this journey with your daughter. It's tough, isn't it? We've all been there, feeling frustrated and impatient, wondering why things aren't changing as we'd like.

Let's turn to Matthew 11:28-29 (NIV), "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your soul."

Jesus invites us to come to Him, to find rest in Him. He understands our weariness, our burden. He's not judging you for feeling frustrated, but He wants to help you carry that load.

We're praying that you'll find that rest, that you'll be able to see your daughter through Jesus' eyes. That you'll be able to love her, patiently, kindly, just as He loves you. That you'll be able to accept her, quirks and all, and love her unconditionally.

We're also praying that God will give you wisdom and discernment in how to parent your daughter. That you'll be able to understand her unique needs and love her in a way that helps her grow and flourish.

And remember, God is working all things together for good, for those who love Him (Romans 8:28). Trust that He has a purpose and a plan for your daughter, and that He's working in her life, even if you can't see it yet.

We're here for you, praying with you, believing with you. Let's keep trusting in God's love and care for our children, even when it's hard.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
