As parents, grandparents, mentors, and leaders, we have been given the incredible power to make a difference in the world through the lives of the children we love. And though many of us pray for our kids daily and strongly believe in the power of prayer, it's sometimes hard to know how to pray strategically, or even what exactly to pray for.
There's a battle over our families today, and the enemy would love nothing more than to destroy all that we hold dear in this life. He'll do everything he can to lure our kids his way. But we don't have to let him win. Here's hope from God's word to remember…
Prayer is powerful, and His words are true. I'm aware more than ever, of just how much our kids need our prayers. It's one of the most important gifts we could ever give to them in this life. God knows our hearts, He sees, He hears, and is always at work, even when we can't fully see.
Our children are His. No matter where they go, how old they are, or what they're facing in this life, they are secure in His care. They're in His hands, and He has great purpose for them in this life. God loves each one of them so much more than we could ever imagine.
Today, though it's true this world may seem dark many days, God calls us to be light, to make a difference in this life. Praying daily for our children, and for this generation to hold fast to that call. I'm freshly challenged and determined, more than ever before, to pray strategic prayers of blessing and hope over our kids and families, today and every day.
But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children (Isaiah 49:25).
Let's Pray
Yahweh, I pray Your emotional, physical, and spiritual protection over my children. Keep evil far from them, and help them to trust You as their refuge and strength. I pray You will guard my children's mind from harmful instruction and grant them discernment to recognize truth. I pray You will make them strong and courageous in the presence of danger. In Jesus' name, Amen.
