Praying

God makes his light to shine on us. I love the concept, but what does that mean? We have been using Psalm 118 this week as a guide for praying for our children. So, let’s wrap up our time by asking God to shine his light on them. Our prayer will explain what this powerful truth means.

What things do you request from God to effectively lead the people he has placed in your life? 

In the midst of your battle, cry out to God. Let him know that you are in a dangerous place.

Pray personal prayers. God has something great just for you.

As David neared death, he desired three things for his son. 

God, prepare me to prepare this child for what you want them to be. Prepare me so I can prepare them for your calling and mission.

God is God! Sometimes his ways and timing are not completely understood. But even when we might not feel vindicated in real-time, we will eventually because what others mean for evil, God, in His timing, can turn it for good (Gen. 50:20).

Think of a person you love who is walking far from God…in a danger zone. Today pray that God will protect them, open their eyes, and bring them back home.

Grace is God’s undeserved favor. He gives us what we don’t deserve.
