31 Days of Prayers for Children: DAY 3

By Dr. Jermaine Gordon -

Psalm 127:4-5 English Standard Version (ESV)


Like arrows in the hand of a warrior

    are the children[a] of one's youth.
 
Blessed is the man

    who fills his quiver with them!

He shall not be put to shame

    when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.[b]
DAY 3 (We Bless These Arrows)


Lord so many of us as parents are very much in our youth and young adult years, we ask that we will see with clarity how we must guide and direct your children, according to your words and instructions so our children will be a blessing every single day of their lives. Like arrows in our hands, we prepare them to accomplish your will in the earth. Bless them in abundance this new week and beyond in Jesus' name. Amen and Amen.

The Child's Prayer: (Pray three times)
Father, let the genius in me come alive!

Notes to Parents: 
Knowing the will of GOD for our child/children is something so many of us desire. In the bible, it would appear that the parents didn't seem to quite know the full purpose of GOD for their child either, but they were willing to give them over to the LORD to be used by Him.
If we assume we know all of GOD's plans for them we could error on the side of judgment and well-intent. Children are early discerners and do have a sense of God's presence from very early, listen to them.

I Have Prayed For You

By Dr. Jermaine Gordon -

I have asked the Lord to do this for you: If you’ve got an unwanted guest  in your body such as an infection, virus, inflammation or disease of any sort.  I pray that without hesitation your immune system will step in, like a bouncer who means business.  I command your body to release white blood cells and other chemicals that will  destroy these threats right now  in the name of  His son Jesus Christ. That elite squad of agents that zap invaders in your body -- like bacteria, viruses, and fungi -- In this hour, we come into agreement that they must now zoom through your entire body and defend you, powered by the blood of Christ Jesus.  We close all ports of entry into your body by these viruses and activate the wisdom needed to stay well and healthy in this hour. If you are not ill, as these  aliens  position themselves to attack your body they will not be able to get in through a cut, ride in on something you ate, filter through the air, or wait on a coin

Called to Love

By Dr. Jermaine Gordon -
I have been treated badly in recent times by persons who really should be the 'keepers of my soul' and people who claim that they 'love' me. On more than one occasion I was tempted to reciprocate the treatment. It takes great strength to love and restrain oneself, especially when you know you are not deserving of the ill treatment. The bible reminds us that we ought to ,"...Love our enemies, bless them that curse us, do good to them that hate us, and pray for them which despitefully use us and persecute us;" -St. Matt. 5:44 God expects that even when others are 'deserving' of our bad treatment and have fully earned the right to be 'hated', that we will love them and love them without discrimination. Think about it, it is so difficult to even forgive and love those we call friends whenever they hurt us, more so an enemy. Anyone who believes it is easy to bless those who curse us should think about it carefully. Quite often when we ha

31 Days of Prayers for Children: Day 11

By Dr. Jermaine Gordon -
DAY 11  (I am stressed out) Jesus, it's almost frightening to hear a little ten-year-old girl crying just how much she is stressed out. Deliver our children from their emotional and mental stresses and give them the strength and stamina to grow from each difficult.  The Child's Prayer:  I refuse to be stressed and I embrace my blessing today. Amen. Notes to Parents:   Don't underestimate the fact that your child could be a carrier of stress.  In times of adversity and turmoil, stress evokes strong emotions and causes uncertainty in all of us. As parents, we are in the best position to help our children. Here are five things we can do:   Supervise their tv time or use of the media and devices   Plan times away from devices where they can be creative and be engaged in outdoor activities   Listen whenever they want to speak.  Some children will want to talk about difficult situations and some won’t. Both reactions are common and natural.   Be calm. Th
