We join with you in praying for the protection of your children. Let's come before God together, lifting up your beloved little ones in Jesus' name.
Let us remember and encourage ourselves with God's promise, "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares Yahweh, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." (Jeremiah 29:11, WEB). God has a plan not to harm, but to give us a future and a hope.
We pray,
"Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, asking for Your divine protection over these precious children. You tell us in Your Word, Keep me as the apple of an eye. Hide me under the shadow of your wings (Psalm 17:8, WEB). Lord, we ask that You hide these children under Your wings, keeping them as the apple of Your eye. Protect them from any harm that may come their way, whether physical, emotional, or spiritual. Guide them in the paths of righteousness and truth, and help them to grow strong in Your love. In Jesus Christ Name. Amen.
In responding to this request, we notice that Jesus is not mentioned in the original text. We are only able to go to the Father by Jesus. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6, KJV)
Therefore, we want to encourage everyone to call on the name of Jesus and ask for His protection and to come to the father in His name. For whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved (Romans 10:13, WEB). We also encourage you to teach your children the importance of calling on Jesus through the Holy Spirit and to understand the gospel message of Jesus Christ so they too can be saved.
Furthermore, we will pray for you as the Lord tells us, Teach a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it (Proverbs 22:6, WEB). May the Lord give you the wisdom and guidance to raise your children in the way of the Lord, instilling in them a love for God and His Word.
