Dear
friends, I expect all of you like me are ever conscious that our children are
living in a violent, stricken society. Daily news reports make us aware that
evil is rampant among us. We wonder how we can provide safety for our children
as they go about their daily lives- be it to school, college, work or even at
home. We cannot always be with our children or look out for them.
One day, reading
through my daily devotionals, I came across these 3 verses from the bible to be
spoken as prayers. I make it a point now to pray these blessings over my
children every morning, afternoon and night.
Here are
the 3 blessings I speak over their names:
“May God
bless you and keep you. May His face shine upon your face. May He be gracious
to you. May you find favour in His eyes. May you have peace all of your
days.” Numbers 6:24-26
“May the
Lord keep you from all harm as you trust in Him. May He watch over your life,
your coming and your going, both now and forevermore.” Psalm 121:7-8
“May God
make all grace abound to you, so that in all things, at all times, having all
that you need, you will abound in every good work” 2 Corinthians 9:8
After
saying these prayers, I feel a calm assurance that my children are safe under
God’s protection. And that we do not have to worry about them as they are being
kept safe under the shadow of the Almighty One who is head over all power and
authority.
I hope these prayers will be a blessing to your children too. I am posting these prayers on my PRAYER page also to be easily accessible
