Prevailing Prayer

There are countless dangers in this world. Trying to raise children in this world can be utterly terrifying at times. To guide our little one's safely through the minefield of childhood is overwhelming at times, to say the very least! Pornography, drugs, sex, and violence are just some of the weapons that Satan uses in an attempt to rob our children, to gain control of our sons and daughters in their most vulnerable moments.

Rest assured my dear sisters, We will prevail! But, only if we continue to turn to the original source of truth and power.

JESUS CHRIST.......

On the night our Lord was betrayed He gathered His disciples in a vineyard and prayed for them, saying, "I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world, My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one" (John 17:14-15)

In the same way, the world hates your children if they belong to God. 

Although we may wish that the precious little ones in our care could be spared from the evil influences in our immoral, corrupt society, God has a purpose for their lives on this earth... I preach this to our children daily.... 

We must yield to His plan. Our task is to pray for our kids, to reach them in the ways of God, and to protect them as long as we have breath in our lungs. 

Each morning I wake up a few hours before the kids do. I have my coffee, I read, and I pray for them.... I can not stress how truly important this prayer time is! I have two things I pray for daily, among other's! 

I pray for their little hearts to have a longing and a desire for the things of God (honor, obedience, knowledge of scripture, service... etc.)

I also pray for their protection. Not just the physical protection from harm and danger, but their spiritual protection. 

Evil is on every corner, in so many homes, schools, even churches. It's our job as parent's to intercede for our babies, praying for them is a must! 

I am sure you pray for you children, even if they are still in the womb... but, if you don't have regular prayer time for them, I challenge you to start! Even if it's just two minutes. It could make a difference in eternity.
