HOW TO PRAY FOR YOUR CHILDREN
"Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord... Jesus Christ." 2Pe 3:18 NKJV
HOW TO PRAY FOR YOUR CHILDREN
The Bible says, "In the last days will come... times of great stress and trouble [hard to deal with and hard to bear]" (2Ti 3:1 AMPC). We don't have to look far to see that Scripture fulfilled. It's why we need to pray for the physical and spiritual safety of our children; that they may "grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord...Jesus Christ. Heather Riggleman writes: "As you and I watch the news, we weep, we cry out in anger, and then we wonder, 'How we can protect our kids...?" We wonder if it's safe to send [them] out the front door. We question whether the world is falling apart. And nothing is more terrifying than the realization that we cannot protect them from life. While we cannot hide our children away from the world, we can...shield them in far greater ways than wrapping them in a plastic bubble or locking them in their rooms for the rest of their lives....We can intercede for [them], praying for wisdom, protection, peace, and strength." Remember, wherever we are gathered and praying, Jesus is in our midst (See Mt 18:19-20). Paul said, "Put on every piece of God's armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil... Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers' (Eph 6:13, 18 NLT). When you pray like that, God is bound to honor His Word. Keep covering your kids in prayer--and don't give up no matter how bad things in the world get.
