Living as a mom

Archive for February 20th, 2009

Being a mom means that I worry about my children’s future. I know that I have no control over it, but I cannot help it. I also know that God wants me NOT to worry and to pray instead. So now that I am trying to not worry as much. I am making a conscious effort to pray for my children. I have always prayed for them, but now I am praying more intentionally and for specific blessings. I pray for each of my daughters individually.

I pray for God to provide a God fearing husband. I ask God for a loving man who will love, honor, and cherish my beautiful child. I hope for a man who would be a good provider and a good friend. I also hope for a happy, healthy marriage filled with memories that they can talk about with their grandchildren. I pray that my child and her husband would serve God and His people throughout their life together and depend on God for guidance. I hope that my child would live a full life to God’s glory!

If you are interested in praying for your child but you aren’t sure how to do it, read The Power of a Praying® Parent Deluxe Editionby Stormie Omartian. Each chapter is about a different topic and includes a prayer that you can pray verbatum for your child. It helped me when started praying for my children.

Living as a mom means praying fervently for your children’s future.
