Happy Birthday!

Today we celebrate six months of Jonathan's life.  Happy Birthday, buddy!!
Oh God, we pray for Jonathan David this day.  We know with absolute certainty that You are the Author of all life.  You created Jonathan in the womb and formed him.  You have known him long before we ever gave thought to a fourth child.  And we also know that You purposed him for our family.  What a joy, privilege, honor!
As he spends this day resting and healing in the hospital, I pray that You will strengthen his body.  I also pray that You will meet the deepest needs of his heart right now.  Will You fight against all infection with Your mighty outstretched arm?  Restore him to health.  May our days in the hospital be few in future days.
Father, my greatest prayer for our son is that You will be glorified through His life.  Use Him.  May He know You and point others to You in a way that only Jonathan can do.
He is a treasure given by Your hand.  And we know that Your estimation of treasure is far different than this worlds and some of the greatest ones come in unexpected ways.
