EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:
Mothers love their children. They can be young or old, and as their mothers, we should pray for role models and mentors in their lives. It is a prayer worth praying.
Stop and think about who is influencing your children right now. This moment, no matter where they are in life, near or far from your life, prayer is important. Who can pour into their minds during any stage of their life? God can influence who does, but it’s up to us to pray and ask God to help.
May we make this worthy of our time as a parent to pray over other people who have an influence on our children’s lives. Even our older adult kids can be influenced by someone else who may be speaking hatred, anger, bitterness, or resentment from their own lives and flowing it into your kid’s lives, too. Are you thinking about this even at this very moment? I sure am.
Fervent times of intercession need to arise when the gut-wrenching thoughts about those who could be speaking lies into our children come to our hearts. This should concern each one of us.
Often times we may feel we don’t have control over others speaking into their lives, but you do. You can have control with God’s help. Ask Him for this. You don’t have to give up hope that someone could be putting an end to your worries and concerns.
One of the greatest influences in our children’s lives is their friends, mentors, and counselors when they are adults. How can we not pray over those who are filling that role? When we are absent or not around their life, we need help for the right input in the lives of those we love. ❤️
Lord,
I pray for my child right this moment. If I can’t be around them, I pray you bring Godly role models into their life. I pray over those who You bring and that they will always speak truth and never compromise their walk with You-to gain my child’s acceptance. Please give me Your Holy Spirit discernment on how I can guide or influence the selection of friends for my kids, near or far, or even in any silence that may be occurring in our relationship.
I pray you remove anyone who is NOT a godly influence from their life (friends, counselors, teachers, unhealthy blood relatives), and I ask it at this very moment, dear Father, please intervene. I pray a hedge of protection over my child right now.
Please help them to transform into who YOU want them to become. In Your likeness dear God.
Proverbs 19:20 says,
“He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will be destroyed.”
Please don’t let my child be talked to or destroyed by a fool. Let them recognize those who speak lies to their minds. Enable them to find true wisdom in choosing their friends or even family members whom they confide in. Let it always be Godly council guided by You dear Lord. Let them be provided “safety and purity” in their counsel of choice, as we relinquish that control to You.
In Jesus Name~Amen.
This verse is wisdom for our adult children…
“Make no friendship with an angry person, or you’ll embrace a snare in your soul…” (Proverbs 22:14)
I pray this over all of your children and mine.❤
I TRUST You, Lord, in Jesus Name
