"Children"
Scripture Reading:
Colossians 1:9 (HCSB) For this reason also, since the day we heard this, we haven’t stopped praying for you. We are asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,

Devotional Reading:
We need to pray for our children. For many years, my wife has prayed a prayer from scripture for our two children. We began praying for them before they were born. Our prayers included them but the spouse the Lord would be raising up for them as well. If you really love your children, then you pray not just for today but for their tomorrow. You pray for the protection and deliverance the Lord has for their future as well as the future of your grandchildren. If you love them you pray; if you don't love them then you don't pray.
Here are some ideas for you to try:
Pray that they will increase in the knowledge of God. Most parents' greatest hope for their children is that they will be happy, but a fulfilled life comes from knowing God. Without God, there is a nagging emptiness. Lots of people know about God, but knowing Him personally is different. We all know a lot about our nation's president but only a few know him personally.
Pray that they live a worthy life. Pray that their lives have an impact for good, and that they will be people of trustworthy character.
Pray that they're strengthened in God's power. The world and evil influences will seek to pull our children down. They need God's power to be strong, resist temptation, and do the right thing.
And, thank God for each child. They are unique creations of God.
We all need to pray for our children. I hope these thoughts help. Your Jerusalem is your spouse and children, before you want an increase elsewhere, be sure they are right first!
Keep the Son in your eyes,
