The children are a gift an incredible blessing from God. Every day we can find ourselves doing so much for our children, loving and caring for them, nurturing, teaching, training, helping, guiding, equipping, encouraging, protecting, and much more.
We spend precious hours living life, helping with chores and driving them to activities. We spend money on sports, lessons, and various classes to help them grow and become all they can be, giving them opportunities to do what they love most in this world.
But in the midst of busy and full lives, we have to ask ourselves: Are we praying? I mean really praying specific, powerful, promise-filled prayers, inspired by hope. Are we praying the mighty Word of God and his promises over his life? I am aware of this and feel challenged to pray more.
There is a battle over our families today, and the enemy would love nothing more than to destroy everything what we appreciate in this life. He is ruthless and cunning, deceitful and cunning. He will attack when we are not looking, he will do everything he can to lure our children his way. Don’t let him win.
Prayer is essential about our children and families, to keep us alert, aware and discerning the voice of God, as well as to oppose the attacks of the enemy in our lives. We should never underestimate the importance of saying the blessing and the truth about their lives. prayer is powerful and his words are true.
