Prayer brings peace to an Air Force cadet's family

Originally appeared on spirituality.com

It had been a rather tense winter at home with our son. All Edwin's friends had been accepted to a university or college. Finally, in April, Edwin received his letter of acceptance from the United States Air Force Academy. He went to the Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado, for a two-day orientation and returned home with military boots in hand.

It was another step in our family's spiritual journey, and we knew God's care was protecting all of us.

Our prayers for our son that winter had been simple but thorough. Our complete trust in his ability to be guided and nurtured by God lifted the heavy burden of concern that we felt for his safety and well-being in the military.
