EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:
God has made a promise to us, He has heard our weeping hearts. Mothers of prodigals or moms whose children have abandoned them, your children will come back, trust and pray. God sees your faithfulness to pray over your wayward children. Hold His promise in your heart.
I hold on to biblical truths daily, sometimes hourly, when it really gets tough! I have personally heard and heard clearly from God that He hears my heart and solidified it through multiple confirmations—my children will come back. I trust God. In God’s eyes, it’s a done deal. How do I know this? Because the Bible tells me so.
Does not the Bible tell us that our children are a gift from Him? Your reward? The Bible says children are “arrows in our quiver” and happy are we who have our quiver full of them… (Psalm 127:5)
I can understand you may not be happy right now, especially if you feel you have a quiver full of kids that aren’t obedient to God first. They might be selfish, unforgiving, rebellious, or even resentful kids, but not to fret, dear women of God, not to fret. God sees everything they are doing, even if you do not. They belong to Him first. He will get their attention somehow and some way, even when you can’t. That’s where trust comes in.
Don’t allow the way they may be acting now to crush your faith or distract you from serving God or praying for them. Serve Him wholeheartedly and pray for your children who aren’t speaking with you every day! Don’t give up.
Those of you who may not know me on a personal level may wonder if I’m speaking from experience on this one. Yes, I am. And I can help ease your troubled soul by sharing what I know…God is in control!!!! Refuse to accept the lie the enemy wants you to believe. Please refuse the lie of guilt or shame, whatever it is, sister! He wants you to stay deep in the pit of misery because he knows you won’t serve God there! Get out of that place!
God knows exactly where your kids are at this moment, spiritually, and what they need to learn in their lives! He knows how they need to mature and grow and what it is going to take to get them back to Him and for their future with you. He knows it all. We MUST release our kids and their behaviors to God. He has an angel army to watch over them until just the right time, and they bend their knee and confess. It’s His time. Not ours.
Stomp out the flames of your fears with FAITH right now!!! You can do this. Hold strong to your belief in what God says is truth. Stand with immovable, unshakable FAITH! This is serious business here!!! The hurt that has come to you over and over can be cradled in God’s loving arms of Truth when you read His words and dwell on those words instead of on the misery of rejection.
Yes, I still cry, but it’s different now. The pain only lasts for a little while, and then God always comes in and helps me through the moments, whether by the power inside His Word or by acknowledging my tears with a message, a person or stillness.
Speak “healing” over their hearts, speak “life” back into their souls and speak “awakening” to their spirits. Then trust God to do His work that you’ve asked Him to do, and KNOW that He will. Please “DO NOT WAVER” in your faith. If you are praying, God is moving on your faith. Prov. 22:6, “Train up a child in the way they should go, and when they are old they shall not depart from it.”
Stand with me if this is your life and your kids need a spiritual healing in Jesus. Even if your children are walking with Jesus 100%, we praise God for this and ask if you can still pray for the many of us who are grieving sisters around the planet and who need your prayers.
It’s a sad reality in our world today, that the trickery has sucked many of our children into believing whatever lie they are being told, but we have HOPE! Hope in Jesus Christ. There is freedom there. Don’t give up on God. He is our hope. Our hope lies with Him.
