It's been a while since I've updated this blog...not sure how many read, but I enjoy this little outlet of mine...hope you do too :) Life is busy, but we're so blessed.
The next chapter of "the power of a praying parent" discusses how/why to pray protection over our family. The last paragraph says this: "Things happen when we pray that will not happen when we don't. What might happen, or might not happen, to our children if we don't pray today? Let's not wait to find out. Let's get on our knees now."
A portion of the prayer: "Hide her (him) from any kind of evil influences that would come against her (him). Thank you for your promise of protection. Help him (her) to walk in your ways of obedience to Your will...Keep her(him) safe in all she (he) does and wherever she (he) goes."
Isaiah 43:2 - "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned, not will the flame scorch you. "

Becoming a praying parent
Taken from "Power of a Praying Parent"
"We can't be everywhere. But God can. We can't see everything. But God can. We can't know everything. But God can. No matter the age of our children releasing them into God's hands is a sign of our faith and trust in Him and is the first step to making a difference in their lives."
Here's a part of the prayer that I liked the most:
"...I commit myself to pray for everything concerning him/her that I can think of, or that You put upon my heart. Teach me to pray and guide me in what I pray about....may I pray Your will be done for him/her, and not my own. Thank you, Lord, for this precious gift of this child. You word says every good gift comes from You...I trust my child to You and release him/her into Your hands. Amen."
Matthew 7:11 "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!"

Prayer
Prayer is something we all take part in, but sometimes forget how truly important it is. Every night, I rock Stella to sleep, and feed Sawyer, then put them to bed and to be honest, sometimes I forget to pray. I get so caught up in doing everyday duties and tasks that I forget to take time and say a prayer. I'm thankful for parents, grandparents and friends who offer up prayers for us because on those days that I'm too tired to think, I know someone is praying for me.
So, a few days ago after Stella's nap, I felt reminded to pray for her and Sawyer the way I know I should. I've started a new category..."praying for our little ones" on the right side of the page, and my goal is to post a new prayer, scripture or thought that you may find helpful. I pulled out my book, "The Power of a Praying Parent" to be a guide, along with a few other things I've collected along the way.
