Praying Our Kids Fear The Lord_Day 1

So this week we are praying our kids fear the Lord.

I personally chose this because a couple of my kids have been taught who Jesus is, but they are currently searching for what that means for them.

There are a lot of things in this world people put their faith in, and I want my kids to know God is the great “I AM”, the creator of the sun and the stars, and also the one whom they seek comfort, refuge, and counseling in.

ACTION STEPS:

1) Make it a habit to share stories with your kids from the past and present of God's faithfulness in your life.

2) Ask your kids who God is to them.

3) Give your kids space and opportunity to tell you what/who they believe in without telling them it is wrong.

4) Do not let their answer scare you but trust that God is using this season in their life to discover Him as their own God, not just your God.

FOCUSED PRAYER:

Father, I pray my kids learn to walk in fear of you. I want them to live in awe and reverence of you knowing that you are all-powerful, awesome, holy, righteous, and sovereign. Remind me to be quick to listen and slow to speak when they share their thoughts and beliefs about you. Father, I trust that it is all part of the process, just like Jacob wrestling with the angel, to discover who you are. Help me stay strong in the waiting, but also courageous in sharing my stories of times in my life where I was hopeless and you brought me hope. Give me opportunities to share all the times you made the impossible possible so that your goodness will be passed on for generations.

In Jesus Name, Amen!

SCRIPTURES TO PRAY THIS WEEK:

Joshua 4: 21-24

21 Then Joshua said to the Israelites, “In the future your children will ask, ‘What do these stones mean?’ 22 Then you can tell them, ‘This is where the Israelites crossed the Jordan on dry ground.’ 23 For the Lord your God dried up the river right before your eyes, and he kept it dry until you were all across, just as he did at the Red Sea when he dried it up until we had all crossed over. 24 He did this so all the nations of the earth might know that the Lord’s hand is powerful, and so you might fear the Lord your God forever.”

Joshua 6:10

10 “Do not shout; do not even talk,” Joshua commanded. “Not a single word from any of you until I tell you to shout. Then shout!”

Genesis 32:24-32

24 This left Jacob all alone in the camp, and a man came and wrestled with him until the dawn began to break. 25 When the man saw that he would not win the match, he touched Jacob’s hip and wrenched it out of its socket. 26 Then the man said, “Let me go, for the dawn is breaking! But Jacob said, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.” 27 “What is your name?” the man asked. He replied, “Jacob.”28 “Your name will no longer be Jacob,” the man told him. “From now on you will be called Israel because you have fought with God and with men and have won.” 29 “Please tell me your name,” Jacob said. “Why do you want to know my name?” the man replied. Then he blessed Jacob there. 30 Jacob named the place Peniel (which means “face of God”), for he said, “I have seen God face to face, yet my life has been spared.” 31 The sun was rising as Jacob left Peniel, and he was limping because of the injury to his hip. 32 (Even today the people of Israel don’t eat the tendon near the hip socket because of what happened that night when the man strained the tendon of Jacob’s hip.)
