Prayer for Freshman Retreat

Lord, I thank you for the gift of my son ___________.
His presence in my life has changed me forever.
I cannot imagine life without him. 
 I love him deeply.
Yet, You, Lord, love him more!
 You have a wonderful plan for his life
 and I trust you to reveal it to him. 
 I pledge to support my son
 as he discovers the path
 You have in mind for him. 
I ask that You help him keep his heart open
 to the graces of freshmen retreat.
  May he be receptive to each experience
 and responsive to those around him.
  I pray that he is ready to receive the blessings
 You plan to shower on him.
  May he be challenged to grow in his life of faith
And feel more of Your love for him.
Amen.
