Have you had your JOY JUICE today? As you drink in the JOY of Jesus, send up a
prayer for a child.
Our
children are precious to us. And though we get tired at times, we should never
forget that we are to model a consistent Christian walk before them. It’s so important to pray for them and with
them---teaching them how to pray.
One of the
most rewarding things about raising children is to witness them grow into young
adults who love the Lord and live according to His Word. That’s not to say that they won’t make
mistakes along the way…that’s how they learn.
Not one of us is perfect! That’s why it is of utmost importance that we
depend on God to lead us and direct our paths.
When we
first give birth to our children, it’s hard to imagine that they will ever
become adults….yet that time comes all too quickly. Our role as parent changes when they become
adult children. We spend 18 or so years
investing in them and striving to teach them how to think on their own. THEN….we
have to let go---which is not an
easy thing to do.
But one
thing stays the same….our children will ALWAYS need our prayers. Regardless of their age, their stage of life,
their circumstances….we should continue to cover them in prayer. My sweet 84 year old mother continues to pray
for me, my siblings, the grandchildren and now her great-grandchildren. We all desire her prayers because we know that
God joyfully listens to this special friend!
Let's never forget to pray for our
children…regardless of their age. And
always share the Joy Juice of Jesus with each of them!
