The Heart of a Praying MotherSample

Day 3: I pray for hope and a great future for my children.

Scripture: Jeremiah 29:This is God’s Word on the subject: “As soon as Babylon’s seventy years are up and not a day before, I’ll show up and take care of you as I promised and bring you back home. I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.

Prayer: A prayer for a great future.

Father God, thank You for these children You have entrusted to my care. I pray You would fill in the gaps where my parenting is lacking so that they will not grow discouraged or have their hope dimmed. I lift them to You and ask that You be their comfort and their guide. 

Father, I pray my children would be over-comers in all the obstacles that they may face, whether it is in school, on their job, or a relationship, they will be able to forget what is behind and press on toward the goal of their prize in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:13). Do not let the enemy hinder them in doing good. I pray my children would stand in faith, resolved to do Your will whether it is favorable or unfavorable to them.  In Jesus' Name, Amen.
