Prayer Over Our Children

Do you pray like I do for your child? Hoping and asking the Lord to guide their growth and hear our cries on their behalf? Please join me in praying Scripture over our children by reading a chapter a day from a book of the Bible.
​
​My prayer for you, as it is for me, is that you and your children's lives will be transformed, touched and knit together by the power of the Holy Spirit.  ~ Marjorie Wingert, walking by faith and not by sight


"But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." (Isaiah 40:31)

I Will Go

     My husband and I gathered to pray. The night was upon us and bedtime soon approached. A specific prayer request sat on my heart. One of which revolved around a new desire to grow in faith.

     Coming through a trying season, the desire for new steps in faith was a treasure. Yet with new faith also must come the courage and trust to step out. I needed assurance and peace from the Lord. I needed to hear His still, soft voice. And as my husband prayed, a silent whisper filled my heart.

     I will go with you, the Holy Spirit whispered, I will go with you. Gratitude and relief flooded my soul. For though I had faith, His assurance undergirded my steps. Just like Moses refused to go without God, I also sought the Lord’s presence. To know God would go with me was all I needed.

         The next day dawned early. A flurry of activity commenced. By the time we pulled out of the driveway, fatigue settled deep. But I called out to God and He heard my cry. An idea popped into my head. Silly as it seemed, I jumped to follow through. By the time we arrived at our destination, peace, joy, energy, and strength refreshed me. Thank You, Lord, I silently whispered, a smile in my heart and on my face.

     As the day progressed, the sun disappeared behind clouds. A mixture of mist and gentle rain anointed our time. The cooler temperatures refreshed our bodies while the misty rain baptized our skin.

     “Well, if it’s going to be cloudy and rainy, then this is the best way for us to spend it….outside and having fun!” My face lifted to the sky. Raindrops splashed against my skin. I will go with you, once more whispered the still, soft voice. Bible passages flashed through my mind in illuminating succession. I remembered how God led the Israelites with a cloud by day. His presence also descended as a cloud into Solomon’s temple. Then, came the memory of   how God’s presence overshadowed the Mount of Transfiguration.

     Tears welled. This cloud which settled over our day and refreshed our spirits was a tangible reminder of God’s promise. He truly was with me. This realization of His presence in the cloud which blanketed our day, overwhelmed my heart with gratitude and thanksgiving.
​

     It takes courage to step out in faith…to trust God. But God sees our hearts and He blesses us no matter how faltering the steps. But as we continue to walk, His strength undergirds and strengthens. And on this monumental day, I praise God for how He did exactly this. He firmed my step and strengthened my foothold. He went before me and was with me. He parted the waters and pushed back the seas. He did more than what I asked or imagined. Hallelujah and Amen!
