A Great Prayer For Your Children Sep 26 2007
"For this reason also...we have not ceased to pray for you..." - Colossians 1:9
We need to pray for our children. For many years, my wife has prayed a prayer from scripture for our three sons. Here are some ideas for you to try:
* Pray that they will increase in the knowledge of God. Most parents' greatest hope for their children is that they will be happy, but a fulfilled life comes from knowing God. Without God, there is a nagging emptiness. Lots of people know about God, but knowing Him personally is different. We all know a lot about our nation's president but only a few know him personally.
* Pray that they live a worthy life. Pray that their lives have an impact for good, and that they will be people of trustworthy character.
* Pray that they're strengthened in God's power. The world and evil influences will seek to pull our children down. They need God's power to be strong, resist temptation, and do the right thing.
* And, thank God for each child. They are unique creations of God.
We all need to pray for our children. I hope these thoughts help.

Yes, report it NevermindThanks for caring, and sharing. As parents, we are the covering for our children. And it is imperative that we lift them up in prayer collectively, and individually. Our children need our prayers, it is our responsibility to pray for them. Peace, and blessings.
