As my children mature, I pray they begin to rejoice when they see people acting differently from ‘the world’ … following the Lord in obedience instead! When my children truly begin to serve You … their definition of ‘cool’ will completely change from those imitating Hollywood … to those imitating Christ!
1 Corinthians 13:6
Help my children see that becoming a person of discipline has nothing to do with talent or conditions… it is about choice! As they work to reach the goals they have made for themselves, give them the spirit of practice… keep that fire of desire burning in them and the discipline needed to accomplish what…
Give my children a new heart and put a new spirit into them. May their hearts be soft and able to feel the exquisite pain of the piercing of your arrows… so that their hearts are no longer hardened against the piercing of Your word and the teachings of our Master. Eze 36:26
I will not fear for the Lord promises to deliver my children out of every trouble. He will give them a vision of victory over the enemy… I pray they embrace these promises and live free… free to run, free to dance, free to live for You! Ps 54:7
Give my children a wholesome dread of displeasing You so they will be intrinsically motivated to obey Your commands. Let them experience the light free feeling that flows from doing the ‘right’ thing so that they crave more and truly begin to understand that obedience is not only the root of character but the foundation…
For their own good, I pray my children make up their minds to walk with You and follow Your plan! Ephesians 1:11
Don’t let any unwholesome talk come out of my mouth, but only what is helpful for building others up. My children will know my criticism is for their benefit and not feel the sting but only the comfort of my hand leading them in the way of God. Eph 4:29
As the mother of a 21 yr old boy and 20 yr old daughter, I can truly say that we MUST completely TRUST God and his timing. Often we get caught up in how things LOOK….looks like (our kids) are lost….but God is actively pursuing them (for your sake AND for His sake)….He will forever (til His return) work to do this. And, for me, and TO MY UTTER AMAZEMENT….it was “Hollywood” and their crazy lifestyles that are so fad right now….that caused my kids to say….”hold up….I know there’s a God….bc this is too crazy. If there’s evil there must be good…maybe I should listen to my mama…..”Lol….oh God can use ANYTHING even Hollywood… for His bidding…..oh God is SOOO good 💕💙💚💛
