Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.James 5:16
What is a sideline prayer warrior? This is not someone uninvolved and not caring about prayer but is the college mom or dad, the grandparent, parents of adult children who loves a family member dearly but isn’t right there with them impacting their life. What do you do then?
You may not know every minute of the day about what your student, adult child, or grandchild is doing but God does. You can be deeply involved being their cheerleader on the sidelines.
So many needs are out there. Prodigals, family relationships, good friends, new babies, favor with daughter or son in law and in-laws, exams, job interviews,Christian fellowship, getting them excited about the Lord again if they fell away, first day of school and so forth. Others join with you to pray in confidence and lift up your and those of your children. Continue to press in with prayer to God not butt into their lives. You will gain respect back when they see your patience and good attitude.
PRAYER: Let me be an example to my children and my grandchildren.I pray for broken hearts of moms out there who have had children leave their faith and seemingly have zero desire for fellowship with other Christians. Holy Spirit draw them to you. Put Christians in their path to minister to grandchildren as well. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
