Lily my oldest, she is 10, has been having a hard time getting to sleep at night. She wakes up having nightmare's that Hyena's and bears are going to get her! Or she also dreams something bad is going to happen to someone important in her family at night. We pray every night for the enemy to flee and for the God of angel armies to be around her, before the door, in between the door and on the other side. We also pray for the precious and holy blood of Jesus to wash over her! We listen to praise and worship music that she knows too. Last night was a sweet moment for me as a mom, she started praying that the enemy would get out of her head and that Jesus would protect her! It's a powerful moment as a mom when your child is praying and believing the prayers they have heard prayed over them! It is so important as a parent that our kids HEAR us praying over them not just a dinner or when something goes wrong but each and every day. For some it may be hard for you to do this because you don't like the way your prayers sound, it does not matter HOW they sound rather it matters that God hears them and your kids here them. Now you may be reading this and not have any kids of your own BUT there are kids in your life, allow them to see you pray. You may be the only person they every see pray!
"...future generations will be told about the Lord. They will proclaim his righteousness to a people yet unborn--for he has done it." Psalms 22:30-31
