Your Joyful Role: PRAY for the Children



          Have you had your Joy Juice today?  Keep your pantry well stocked so that you’ll always have plenty for your entire family!

            Many of us are parents or grandparents…or have special children in our life.  Do you realize that NO ONE ELSE can pray for those you love like you can? The genuine love you have for your children, the tenderness you feel for them and your knowledge of their needs and problems, strengths and weaknesses, qualify you to go before God on their behalf with an urgency and earnestness which can not be matched. 

Listen to the scripture in Luke 11:13 where Jesus said: "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!" 

Our children are surrounded by evil influences…nobody denies that! But do we realize how important our role is in praying for their protection?  Our God is a powerful, loving Heavenly Father and He listens to our prayers on behalf of our children.  We should pray without ceasing…pray about everything…pray about their decisions, their friends, their health, their spiritual condition.  Most importantly, we should set a consistent Godly example before them.  In the words of a wise Indian man: "WHO you are speaks louder to me than anything you can say."   Is your life “speaking” the JOY of Jesus?

            Pray for those precious children God has put into your life…and always offer them a special serving of  Joy Juice!
