Lift Them Up!

My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart;

Proverbs 4:20–21

Our church just got done with 21 Days of Prayer and as always I hated when it was over. Some people may wonder how you can pray for a non stop half hour to an hour but with so many needs it is not hard. First you have to be taught how to pray, not a repetitious prayer you may have learned as a child. That is a good base but you have to grow in your faith and that includes in your prayer life. 

In today’s verse you can personalize this for your son or daughter by adding their name where it says “My son” and see how much more meaning and impact it has. Christian parents who are sold out to Jesus want nothing more than their children to love the Lord with all their heart. Sometimes they do but things happen and that love grows cold or that flame turns into a flicker. 

Keep believing mom and dad’s out there. Don’t let Satan’s lies and doubts make you fear or feel nothing will ever change. God is a great God and does great and mighty things. He specializes in big miracles. 

PRAYER: My Hope is in you Lord. I know you have big plans for my children, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. I pray the blood of Jesus over them that no weapon formed against them will prosper. Guard their hearts and help them run form evil. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Note: Moms would  you like to be part of an international ministry that prays for children and the schools they attend and goes on beyond that praying for college and career. Even grandma groups. Www.momsinprayer.org for information on where and when groups meet or how to start a group. For mothers of preschoolers check out MOPs at www.mops.org.
