He feels so out of my reach right now while he's there. So out of my control, my watch, my protection. So I am talking myself down from a worrisome cliff by remembering whose watch Noah IS in. I have appealed to the Lord a little more today on behalf of my baby and this new social and academic career he is beginning.
I pray for that hedge of protection around his eyes, ears, and heart. I pray he is making the right kind of friends - friends who will not expose him to words, ideas, and attitudes that are not Christ-like or that would steal his innocence. I pray he finds favor with his teacher and I pray the Lord forgives me for that selfish request. :) I pray he is choosing obedience and kindness even if others are not. I pray he is encouraged in the subjects he is learning and confident in himself to be able to do them all.
And, oh my word, I pray he does not have his first epi-pen incident this year.
Off to go pick up the boy now. Which reminds me, I pray he is not so exhausted that he melts down like he did last week before I can get him up to his room to rest.

I love your prayer. Can't wait to hear how his first full week went!
