Praying over our kids

Years ago a great friend gave us this list of a few things that we could pray over our kids.

Obviously, these aren’t the only thing’s we should pray, but it gives us a good start and it has helped me to focus on days when my words seemed few.
One of my greatest desire's in life is that my kids grow up to love the Lord with their whole heart.
And I always want to stand in the gap for them... 

There is so much goodness in these and so I wanted to share them with you....

Monday: Ask the Lord to completely surround your children with emotional_ physical_ and spiritual protection.

Tuesday: Pray that the Lord will strengthen your children’s faith and fill them with a passion and desire to know Him_ His word_ and His will.

Wednesday: Ask the Lord to give them wisdom in choosing their friends and to give them strength and courage to boldly take a stand for what is right.

Thursday: Pray that the Lord would renew their mind helping them to remain pure in their thoughts.

Friday: Ask the Lord to extend blessing over their activities, both academic and extracurricular giving them alertness and clarity of mind. Also, for encouragement in their defeats and humility in their victories.

Saturday: Pray that your children will be sensitive and compassionate to the needs of others and that  the Lord will help them act in love_ joy_ peace_ patience_ kindness_ goodness_ faithfulness_ gentleness_ and self control.

Sunday: Pray for those in authority over your children asking the Lord to give them wisdom and understanding as they instruct your children.

Train up a child in the way he should go, even when he is old he will not depart from it.
