It was about 15 years ago that Kerry came across a “Daily Prayers for Your Children” article from Focus on the Family. Since then, she has made copy after copy for us. She has also implemented those daily prayers as a guide for the teachers at her school as they pray for their students. She has even made copies to hand out to parents in our Bible Study classes.
What I appreciate most is that my wife not only realizes the importance of prayer, she is gifted by the Holy Spirit and is a dedicated prayer warrior. Since Samantha was an infant, we have prayed over our children daily. For their future spouses, for their protection, for them to get caught in lies or deception. Most of all, we have prayed for their salvation through Jesus Christ. That they will live for Him, first and foremost.
So I will share with you the prayer plan we have adopted and made our own, originally from Focus on the Family.
Monday -Place a protective, solid hedge around them so satan can’t reach in and lead them into temptation and so they will be safe from harm. 2 Thess 3:3, Ps 33:20
Tuesday -They will use Godly wisdom in selecting friends and that they will make a positive difference in their lives. Give them discernment of people and knowing right from wrong. Prov 1:10, 18:24, Deut 13:6,8
Wednesday -Stay pure in their thoughts and deeds. Ps 24:4-5, Job 17:9
Thursday -They will be caught if they cheat, lie, or are mischievous. Heb 13:18-19
Friday -They will be alert and think clearly in school and activities. Help them to be motivated to do their best. Col 3:17, 1 Cor 10:31
Saturday -Their future spouse. That they will come from a Godly background and desire the life you want from them. That their goals will be the same and their homes will be one that seeks holiness first. Deut 5:29
Sunday -They will live for Him and that He will use them for His Glory. That they will fully mature spiritually. Ps 78:1-8, 103:17-18, Is 54:13, Eph 3:20-21
