Prayer for a Wayward Child

For Stephanie

May you come to the end of yourself before you come to the end of your resources.

May you have enough pride to know when you're right, and enough humility to admit when you're wrong.

May you learn to stand on your own, without forgetting how to hold my hand.

May you gain the wisdom to see the world through my eyes, and be patient as I learn to see it through yours.
