How to pray for your child.
Jesus said Let the little children come to me
Matt 19:13-15
Let them come – forbid them not – hinder them not.
Something or someone is in between Jesus and the kids – hindering them from coming to the understanding of salvation and blessing.
As parents we are the only people with the burden and the power take away the hindrance by praying and counseling.
A Director of worldwide catholic institution for children said “When children become adults, after Education, their spiritual and moral values count more than their professional qualities that the world needs and they require for their professional life.”
The Prayer that Paul prayed for his Spiritual Children can be found in Colossians 1:9-11 “…pray for you and asking God”
* To fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding.
* You may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way:
* Bearing fruit in every good work,
* Growing in the knowledge of God,
* Being strengthened with all power
* May have great endurance and patience, and joyfully’’ (NIV)
We prayer: Lord my child has to have a professional career
