Praying For Our Children


I found this beautiful verse to pray for my children off one of my favorite websites www.girltalk.blogs.com and was so encouraged to use it as a regular way to pray for my little lambs. Maybe you might enjoy using it as well!!

Psalm 12:7--You will guard us from this generation forever:

"Lord, may Chad rise above his age as the mountaintops above the clouds. Fulfill in Chad the faithful saying of this verse! Guard him from this generation, from being polluted by its evil influence. Thank you for those two assuring words that declare, “You will.” "(Adapted from Psalms Volume I, Charles Spurgeon)

"Our children face a three-fold enemy (as do we all): the world, the flesh and the devil. With this prayer, I am specifically asking that God help Chad to resist the temptations of this ungodly world and instead live for the delights of following the Savior. I hope it inspires you to pray with faith for your sons and daughters."
