Prayer

I've been thinking lately about all of the praying I do for others, a lot of times for people I don't even know personally. I realized that I too often end up praying more for these folks than I do for the people I DO know and love...especially my children. Below is a list of specifics that I plan to pray for my children daily.

PRAY...

1. That they will know Christ as Savior early in life. (Psalm 6:3 and 2Timothy 3:15)

2. That they will be protected from the evil one in each area of their lives...spiritual,emotional, and physical. (John 12:15)

3. That they will have a responsible attitude in all their interpersonal relationships.(Daniel 6:3)

4. That they will respect those in authority over them. (Romans 13:1)

5. That they will desire the right kinds of friends and be protected from the wrong friends. (Proverbs 1:10-11)

6. That they will be kept from the wrong mate and saved for the right one.( 2 Corinthians 6: 14-17)

7. That they will learn to totally submit to God and actively resist Satan in all circumstances. (James 4:7)

8. That they will be single-hearted, willing to be sold out to Jesus Christ.(Romands 12: 1-2 )

9. That they will be hedged-in so they cannot find their way to wrong people or
that the wrong people cannot find their way to them. (Hosea 2:6)

10. Lastly, but very important, that they will have a hunger to know God and His Word!

I can't take credit for this list - I found it on another blogger's page. She's a new grandma to baby Harper and a pastor's wife, bless her!
