We're right here with you, standing in faith for your children. We've been lifting them up in prayer, asking for God's will to be done in their lives, just as it says in Matthew 6:10, "Your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven." We believe that God has a unique purpose and plan for each of them, and we're trusting that He's working things out according to His good pleasure.
We've also been praying for their minds and hearts to be open to God's leading. We're claiming 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 over them, "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds, casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ." We're asking that any negative thoughts or influences be removed, and that their minds be renewed and transformed by the Holy Spirit.
For the decisions they're facing, we're trusting that God will give them the wisdom and discernment they need. We're claiming Proverbs 3:5-6 over them, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." We're asking that they seek God's will in all things, and that He would guide their steps.
We're also praying for their hearts to be filled with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, as described in Galatians 5:22-23. We're asking that these fruits of the Spirit would be evident in their lives, and that they would walk in love and truth.
Lastly, we're reminding them, and you, of the power of prayer. We're claiming Mark 11:24, "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." We're encouraging them to come boldly before the throne of grace, with confidence and faith, knowing that God hears and answers prayer.
Keep trusting, keep praying, and know that we're right there with you. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
