"Pray the Children!"

[Coconut]

Thank you for that inspiring testimony sister, surely the unseen hand of God is moving powerfully in every one of our homes because of prayer! It may not be evident yet to some of you, but every little teeny tiny miracle, bears the fingerprint of our mighty God!

I couldn't wait to come and tell you all the good news about my son, John.

He is 17 years old and he has been smoking cigarettes (?spelling?) since he was 12. He has not been smoking for a couple of weeks, now, and has told us that we could even given him a test and he would pass it. Yippy! No one, but my husband, smokes in our family and so for him (my son) to smoke I just couldn't understand it; except that, he started because of "peer pressure". I am just so excited! Please keep praying! I truly believe in the power of prayer; always have, and I so appreciate yours for me and mine!!!!!

Also, he quit school in 9th grade and got his G.E.D. (General Education Diploma). He has been trying to get a job ever since but no one will hire him because of his background. So, he has finally decided to take my parents (his grandparents) up on their offer of paying for him to go to college.

He's really gonna need your prayers, though, still, (you know that, don't you?) because he has been in a habit of hanging out with his friends 'til 11:00 p.m., midnight or later every night and then sleeping in 'til noon every day.

I think he was still smoking pott, some, too, and that is really what he meant by giving him a test and he would pass it.

This means so much to a mother that yearns for her children to live for God, no matter what!

So happy for God's power working in and for my son. I've prayed for years, but where two or more are gathered, you know, and a three-cord-strand is not easily broken, etc.

So keep the power turned on, so to speak, with your prayers. I know there has to be work being done in the other childrens' lives too! I look forward to reading the testamonies!

"I will exalt you, O my God the King. And I will bless your name to time indefinite, even forever.

"All day long I will bless you, And I will praise your name to time indefinite, even forever.

"Jehovah is great and very much to be praised, And his greatness is unsearchable.

"Generation after generation will command your works, And about your mighty acts they will tell.

"The glorious splendor of your dignity And the matters of your wonderful works I will make my concern.

"And they will talk about the strength of your own fear-inspiring things; And as for your greatness, I will declare it.

"With the mention of the abundance of your goodness they will bubble over, And (because of) your righteousness they will cry out joyfully.

Jehovah is gracious and merciful, Slow to anger and great in loving-kindness.

"Jehovah is good to all. And his mercies are over all his works.

"All your works will laud you, O Jehovah. And your loyal ones will bless you.

"About the glory of your kingship they will talk, And about your mightiness they will speak.

"To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts And the glory of the splendor of his kingship.

"Your kingship is a kingship for all times indefinite, And your dominion is throughout all successive generations.

"Jehovah is giving support to all who are falling, And is raising up all who are bowed down.

"To you the eyes of all look hopefully, And you are giving them their food in its season.

"You are opening your hand And satisfying the desire of every living thing.

"Jehovah is righteous in all his ways Ans loyal in all his works.

"Jehovah is near to all those calling upon him, To all those who call upon him in trueness.

"The desire of those fearing him he will perform, And their cry for help he will hear, and he will save them.

"Jehovah is guarding all those loving him, But all the wicked ones he will destroy.

"The praise of Jehovah my mouth will speak; And let all flesh bless his holy name to time indefinite, even forever."

Psalms 145

"With the mention of the abundance of your goodness they will bubble over, And (because of) your righteousness they will cry out joyfully." Glory to God! Amen! Thank you Lord for what you are doing here, let all these parents and children see your power and glory and know it is your hand alone that does each marvelous wonder, and let us to return with grateful hearts to thank you!

In the name of Jesus there is power to set them free...
In the name of Jesus there is glorious liberty...
over sin, disease and sickness, power to walk
in victory, thru faith in that wonderful name!

 

[calluna]

Amen 4given&Coconut Praise God. May the Lord continue to pour out his love for all our precious children, may their hearts and their eyes become open to Him. Let us keep on praying daily for our children and for us parents. Let us continue to strive to be the moms and dad God wants us to be. May we reflect Christ in our speach and behavior, so we are good examples for our children to follow.
May we recognize even the most subtle of positive changes that occur in our children and give all praise and glory to Jesus Christ.

[AlabasterBox]

In all things I want to praise the Lord.

Thank You Lord for all the wonderful changes we are seeing in our children as we lift them up to You.

We thank You for who You are. Mighty counsler, awsome God, ever loving.
I thank You for holding me up when I could not stand. I know every mom gets weary. May You strengthen us this moment Lord as we seek your face. Give us grace and mercy, and as You give it to us that we may show our children the same.

Lord I ask You this day to help our children to forgive. The youth are so angry Lord. Help them to forgive so that they may be forgiven. Help them to let go of bitterness. Heal them and make them whole. As they get older they are in the world more than they are with us Lord. That they may not forget you and that they would start to hear Your voice clearer than the worlds. Lord most of these kids have your word hidden in thier heart. Let it rise up so they may be able to strong and follow You.

In Jesus name amen.

 

[4givN&hope4U]

Dear Father God,

Hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Father, I pray for all the children. May they look to You when they are down. May they seek Your face in the morning, at noon, and at night. May they heed Your Holy Spirit's calling to come follow You. May those who haven't heard of You and Your Son, Jesus Christ, have the Way, the Truth, and the Life brought to them. May they have ears to hear and eyes to see. Raise them up, Father. Make leaders to and for yourself, from amongst them. We dedicate our children to You and hope to see You working in their lives, always.

Please forgive us our debts as we forgive those who have tresspassed against us. Help us, Father, where we are weak. Help us, with Your eye upon us and with the leading of Your Holy Spirit to follow in Your ways.

All in all, Father, for all the children mentioned on this site (You, knowing their names and knowing each one, intimately, even more so than their parents know), may Your Will be done in their lives. May Your Will be done in our (the parents') lives, may Your Will be done in the lives of every person that is a member of this talkjesus site and those who had been members at one time, those who just visit, those who will visit and those who will become members, in the future.

Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us! For Thine is the kingdom and the glory forever and ever!

May Your Holy Will be done, in Jesus Christ's name, Amen!

Thank God for every child named here, and every answered prayer!
Lord, you love all our children as your very own, I dont think we can ever comprehend the depths of your love, but we place our children in your hands, trusting you with every moment and detail of thier lives, for you do all things well! You know all the good things, the bad things, the blessings, and the trials, and the struggles that will make our children grow strong in you, so do not spare them one thing you deem good for them, but make each one a witness of your amazing wisdom and grace! Let it be Lord, amen.

Thanks for the prayers, family.

I am, very much, a part of these girls' lives that I am going to mention. In 2004 the Holy Spirit had me start up a girls club called "The Free To Be Righteous" club. I started with six (6) whom the Lord told me to start with. I had to quit, in 2005, because of family problems. Now, just in the past week, I see that the Lord is bringing the club back in full force and He's got me leading it again.

Please pray for these: New Members of the club: MORGAN, ANNA & KAYLYNN, and for the old active members: AMBER and my girls; plus, the inactive old members that need to return: ALYSSA, MAKAYLA, ECHO & KATIE.

We had the opportunity to share God's love with some boys one day, and last evening, the Lord had me sit down with the girls and ask them a serious question about "sex before marriage". We had a wonderful discussion and the girls are excited about our daily routine of getting together after they get out of school for the day and taking a walk (me) and bike riding (them) to a park close by.

These girls want and need to express themselves and they have been sharing, with me, their daily struggles of "peer pressure" and the like of that nature. So, please lift me up with them, that I may be a GOOD EXAMPLE for them and that they may be a GOOD EXAMPLE to others.

Thank you so kindly,
4givN

And, Father, You know I second/agree with the prayers of all those who have prayed with me on this thread. In Your Son's perfect name, JESUS CHRIST, Amen!

In Jesus name I pray,
And all of God's kids said amen

an extra lift

Please can I ask for an extra prayer for my son, he's on the list and I know everyone is praying for all the children. But I spoke to him last night and it seems he is having one bad thing happen after another, he is sick again, has some kind of swelling in his neck, he only just got over strep a few weeks back, he has had car trouble, and his tyres blew out, he's financially struggling, (19 and living on his own) One thing that is good is he is holding his job down, somehow he is keeping it together to be able to work.
Praise God. I told him I will pray for him and he didn't object. Maybe these trials he is going through, God is trying to get his attention. He knows the truth about our Lord, I have shared with him, and he came to church with us when he lived at home. But he is running from God, the enemy is deceiving him.
Thanks my friends in Christ

 

[AlabasterBox]

I will pray for Nile, I hear you and know how much you want to see him get his life right with the Lord. I know when you run from the Lord, nothing will work. You can run, but you can't hide. God will make him lye with the pigs. God wants him whole and will keep knocking at his heart until he anwsers.

Remeber he is the Lord's, and He is merciful and just.

 

[dimunintheruf]

What a fantastic idea! I am sorry to be jumping in so late.
I will hold these children up in prayer daily as I do my own.
Please add my kids to the list:
Shelby
Drew
Trent
Miriam

I am looking forward to the miracles that are being seen and still to come!

 

[dimunintheruf]

Oh my! I almost forgot some others that are very important to me.
My two step-daughters that are very lost, Erin & Sarah, as well as my cousins, Morgan, Nat, Laura, & Leah.

 

[calluna]

I would like to add another teenager I met recently. His name is Nick and I found out that his home is not of peace and love. He told me his father yells and shouts at him daily, I don't know if there is physical abuse. but I certainly saw the fear and the sadness in his eyes. I will add Nick & his dad, with my existing names listed.

Thank you Lord, Our Father, Comforter, thank you for being here for us, that we can come to you anytime in Praise and in need. Lord as you see this list grow, you know our children's need for You. We ask for Healing of their hurting hearts, Lord , show these children your abounding love for them, protect them from harm. Lord we ask you to allow their homes to be a safe haven, a place of love and peace, a home where they can learn to know and love you. Even though the world around them is sometimes hard, let them know You Lord are there to call upon for help. We ask you God to Bless each and every one of these children, may they come to know You so well that the light of your Holy Spirit shines brightly in them. Thank you Jesus, thank You for your mercy, thank you for your Grace and Love in your Holy name Amen.

[Bridget]

Please also pray for Jenny (8). She is in need of her mothers attention and feels she is not receiving it.

Also, Chaz (13) and Marissa (10). Their parents are going through a separation, and eventually will be getting a divorce. The parents are doing very well by the children and getting along well for the children, but Dad stayed in Ohio while Mom moved to Arkansas, and the kids are struggling with their own separation from Dad, and both sets of Grandparents.

 

[AlabasterBox]

Oh Lord we lift up all the above childern and young adults. We ask you to touch them with your healing hand, Lord some need a body healed some their mind and some emotions. Lord you know exactly what they need and know what laborers to send their way. Help them Lord to be whole. Draw them unto You. That they may serve you all the days of their lives.

Give all the parents wisdom Lord, to minister to their children. Where the parents need your touch, please touch them. That the parents seek your face and walk the walk before their children Lord. That we may be a light in a dark world.

In Jesus name amen!

 

[jiggyfly]

This is not a prayer, it is a prophetic word that the lord spoke through me at a community gathering several years ago. I hope it is an encouragement to everyone.

"Behold your youth, for it is in their hearts, not yet cluttered that I will revive my works."

When the Lord had given this to me, I wrote it down. I had never heard the Holy Spirit use the word Behold to me before this and He told me it meant " to stand in awe and look upon". God Bless and be encouraged God is not finished with our children, He is rolling up His sleeves and just getting started.

 

[Coconut]

I am in agreement with that, the Holy Spirit is in agreement with that, Glory to God AMEN Brother!
