Have you had your Joy Juice today? Keep your pantry well stocked so that you’ll
always have plenty for your family!
Many of you
who are listening are parents or grandparents.
Do you realize that NO ONE ELSE can pray for your little ones as you can? The genuine love you have for your children, the tenderness you
feel for them and your knowledge of their make-up, needs and problems, qualify
you to plead with God on their behalf with an urgency and earnestness which can
not be matched. When God speaks of his willingness to hear our prayers, He
bases his proof on his parental love:
Lookat 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 God 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 growth. 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 show them by example how to have a
joyful relationship with Jesus!
