My mom always said God paid more attention to a mother’s prayer. I don’t know if that is true but I sure liked the sound of it. Momming is hard stuff. A mother can scope out a creepy boyfriend, a clingy girlfriend, or trouble a mile away. The internet has been our worst nightmare and best advocate for snooping. Let’s be honest ladies! I have some girlfriends that could work for the CIA.
The most powerful tool we have is prayer. You are equipped to send your child out the door on their own with the Almighty God on their side. Can you think of a better bodyguard?
God can be where you can’t. God can bring light into darkness.
You raised this kid and he/she might test the bounds but in their minds somewhere is all the sayings you had. When they go somewhere they know they shouldn’t be, they hear your voice.
Here is a list of my favorite topics of prayers for my big babies (I meant to do that)!
- Ask their heart to be set on Christ. Salvation is the number one prayer for any child who might be on the fence.
- Pray for their safety. Ask the Lord to send His angels to surround them.
- Pray that if they do wrong, they are found out. Consequences are a great teacher.
- Pray they remember who they are, a child of God. They are worthy, valuable, and precious in His eyes.
- Pray God’s will over their life. Allow God to take the wheel.
- Pray in the dark of night they feel God’s presence reassuring them.
- Pray for their relationships to be fruitful ones. Friends who help them grow. Friends or other relationships that foster their faith.
- Pray for the Holy Spirit to bring strong conviction and guidance.
- Ask for them to have wisdom and discernment.
- Pray their dating relationships draw them closer to God and God’s will.
- Pray for their future spouse and their relationship to Christ.
- Pray that they know and feel the love of God.
