The words that come out of my children’s mouth are a matter of life and death… far exceeding the relevance or power of a personal mantra. For when they speak Your word over their situation, You enter the scene and remove obstacles in their path as well as strengthen them for the journey. May my…
Because my children are born again in Christ, they are no longer cursed to function under strongholds from their past or mine. I pray they RECEIVE their total salvation… it is a choice. Let me lead the way by giving up the fleshy right to secondary gain. Yes, horrible things were done to me in the past……
When my children are knowingly or unknowingly walking in sin cause their hearts to soften. May they hear and heed Your messengers rather than mock Your rebukes. Yes, gossip really does sting back and those innocent white lies are still entrances for the enemy. There are natural consequences to sin… may my children repent and…
Teach my children to be content regardless of circumstances. Once they finally learn to depend on You to fill their needs they will be free. Free from the bad moods of others, the ugly words of others, the gloom others bring into their day… my children were created with a need only You can fill……
May the Holy Spirit be the greatest contributor to the level of trust my children have for You. The more they listen to His still quiet voice and obey His promptings… the closer they will come to reflecting Christ’s love to the world and the richer they will grow in the fruits of the Spirit….
May my children recognize who they are… clay in the Potter’s hand. The pressure, spinning and heat may at times feel ‘too much’ for them as their lives are shaped and formed into vessels God can use to bless… as well as bless others. Is. 64:8
I pray my children don’t become lifelong whiners… and I pray even harder that I don’t get sucked in by those who do! Give my children warrior spirits so they don’t freak out when they encounter trials (at least not for long!) Let me teach them (by example) to rise in the midst of adversity…
Pride is the bitter enemy of my children. Humility is their dear friend. May I humble myself before God so that humility will be mine. As my children witness my actions they will see with their physical eyes my transformation as I am given a humble heart. They will witness the blessing of God’s strength…
The power of sin is broken in my children’s lives. If they choose to receive it (by walking out their faith) then they get to live in the kingdom of God while on earth rather than the kingdom of Satan. Thank You that my children do not have to live in sickness, poverty, depression, controlled…
When my children recognize they are worrying about something, prompt them to repent then turn to You in gratitude for what they already have… and prayer to strengthen and prepare them for the task at hand. Php. 4:6
