Episode 410: A Parent’s Prayer

Today's Prayer Meditation is a Parent's Prayer

My children are a reward, a precious gift from you. I have not labored in vain or birthed children for calamity. I am blessed by you and my descendants with me.

I refrain my voice from weeping and my eyes from tears, for my work raising my children and praying over them shall be rewarded. If they go astray, they shall come back from the land of the enemy. I have an expectant hope for the future, that my children will come back to a place of peace and safety and well-being.

I am confident, Father, that the good work you began in my child, you will carry it on until it is finished. 

You contend with those who contend with me, and you will save, defend, preserve, and deliver my children.

You have made a covenant with me. Your Spirit that is upon me, and your words that you have planted in me, shall not depart out of my mouth or out of the mouth of my children or my children's children from this time forth and forevermore.
 
I believe in your Son, Jesus, and I am saved, me and my household. The promise is unto me and to my children and to all that are afar off, even as many as you shall call.
 
I claim your promise that the children of your servants shall dwell secure and their offspring shall be established before you, Father. 

I am blessed because I fear and reverence you, Father, and I greatly delight in your commandments. My children will be mighty in the land, and they will be blessed. 

You poured water on my thirsty land and streams on my dry ground. You poured your Spirit upon my children and your blessing upon my descendants. They shall spring up among the grass like willows by flowing streams. They will say that they are yours, they will call on your name, your name shall be written on their hand. 

Father, your word says my children shall by taught by you and their peace shall be great. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth. My children give me peace of mind and make my heart glad.

I walk in integrity, and my children are blessed after me. I have strong confidence in you, and my children have refuge. My house shall stand.
 

My steps are ordered by you, and I delight in your way. Though I may fall, I will not stay down, because you uphold me with your hand. I have never seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. I am merciful and lend to others, and my seed is blessed.
 
You will increase me more and more, me and my children.

So be it.

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
