A Prayer for the Children

"Abba, Father, as I look at the boys, I am reminded of all the other children in the world. Thank You for Your amazing creation of babies and kid!. Thank you for ordaining praise out of their mouths - their innocence and purity glorifies Your name. Hallelujah. I praise You and declare You as Maker, Orchestrator, and Designer. You are perfect, LORD, at what You do! Over each child, I ask that You protect them from the schemes of the Enemy. Crush the plans of Satan over their lives. Provide people to rise up and stand up for them. Give them wisdom and discernment at a young age. Bless them with Your favor and love. Make Your face shine upon them and give them peace. Where there is pain and illness, bring healing. Where there is fear, bring courage and confidence. Where there is brokenness, bring mending and binding. Where there is bitterness, bring the softening rains of Your presence. Give them each a hug from Your Almighty arms. Let them know - truly know - that You are God and that You are always for them. Breakthrough with Truth and Light. Make Yourself known. Put a desire in their hearts to know You and spend time with You - an unquenchable hunger and thirst for Your Word. Let the praises rise up in their hearts - may singing and dancing always grace their mouths and feet. Reveal Yourself, Jesus, as their Refuge and Strength. Establish each child in Your Everlasting Love."
