Prayer for Innocence (Girls)

- JaclynPalmer Leave a comment

Lord God,

I love you. Since I was a little girl meeting You for the first time, I love You. I am so thankful to have grown up in Your arms, in Your love. I know my life is colored by its stories, but through it all, You, my Jesus, were always there filling my head with knowledge, my heart with scripture, and my soul with strength. You lead me day by day into the woman I am today. You turned my colorful story into a light that shines Your presence and Your power and Your truth.

You, my Lord Jesus, I love so truly for You first loved me.

Father God, there is a war against the innocence of little girls going on throughout our society. This war is not new. Sadly, this is an age old scheme of the devil. One that is tried time and again. One that wages war within grown women to this day. This war is nothing but evil, disgustingly evil. I pray destruction upon the head of this war. Father God, You declared that he will nip at Your heal, but You WILL crush his head. Oh God, I pray Your hand will crush his head in this war against our young girls.

Bring a protection around each of our daughters, our granddaughters, our sisters, our neighbors, our child’s friends and classmates, the little girls across the street, around the corner, across town, around the world. Selah

Cause men and women to stand up for the protection of innocence. Do not allow us to continue in complacency or in ostrich like behavior. Open our eyes to their hurt, open our ears to their cry, lead our hands and feet to their aid, to their protection. Open our lips to pour forth the sweet name of Jesus Christ upon them. Direct our intentions as proactive shields of protection.

Lord, You are ever faithful in loving each of Your precious children. I can testify.

It is so easy for me to spit out names and functions, agendas and programs, individuals and parties that are advocating for the destruction of innocence upon our girls. Lord, it is too easy… But God I pray You will keep my prayers set to the core of the war. Destroy, I pray, the root of this evil. Silence the lies. Close the ears of the foolish from even hearing his lies. Shine Your radiant light upon the darkness about him. Let the world see how ugly he is. How destructive he is. Oh, Lord, defeat this war with the sound of truth, purity and victory!

I pray these things in unity with prayer warriors far and wide. Hear our voices and pour out our united prayers upon our little girls both near and far.

Jesus, I love you. Thank you for Your fervent love!

Prayer for Virtual Academics

Father God,

School starts today for many kids in my valley. That sentence alone is filled with a bucket full of emotions and truths. Lord, you know them all. You are hearing and seeing the emotions and truths spilling forth from city to city as Virtual Academics start for kids day by day.

Lord Jesus, my words are falling short as I lift up these sweet kids. From Preschool to College, these kids are sitting alone in front of a screen, learning. Oh, Lord, you hear the unspoken words of our hearts, you hear the verbal cries from our lips, you see the posture of our children. Selah

In my perception, I fall on my knees asking that school can press forward with children engaged with one another, growing together in knowledge and life. Learning how to walk together through trials and smiles. Learning how to conquer the hardships of life united together, stronger. Father, this is my perception. You see a scene too grand for my eyes to behold. You know the intricate part of our society that we cannot attain. You have declared the end story, for Jesus will return.

~ May we set our eyes on this truth as we live today with our children.

~ May we keep before us the promises of Scripture as we purpose to raise our children today.

~ May we breathe in your presence and breathe out your love upon our sons and daughters.

Encourage our hearts, Father, so we can encourage our kids in sincerity and truth.

And Father may I pray for the sincere sound of laughter to ring from each of our kid’s hearts today. Laughter, I feel, is being set aside as we stress about our “Adulting”. We need laughter. Our kids need laughter. You designed this sweet sound of a joy filled heart and called it medicine. Remedy our sorrows and stress and weight of 2020 with your healing.

Father, we love you and we thank you for loving our children as you love us. Shine your love within our homes/their schools today!

In the power of the Name of Jesus we pray,

Amen.

*** Psalm 126:2 “Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations, “The Lord has done great things for them.”

*** Proverbs 17:22 “A joyful (merry, cheerful) heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.”

Father,

Allow me just a quick minute to thank you for these children you have given us. Father, these days (at times) feel long, but the years, Sweet Father, are too short. I pray we will pour into them the love You faithfully pour into us. Help us to model Your love and kindness freely.

Father, I pray for wisdom and direction over their next steps. Every age comes with a newness of uncertainty. I pray we will know (per child) how to point them, lead them, guide them, and walk with them. Help us to know with full certainty how to light their next step. For that to happen, we need such confident wisdom. Father, pour knowledge into us as we make these decisions.

Father, as I sit here with you this very moment, I think of girlfriends who are at Your feet on behalf of their adult children. Prayer requests that have been shared with me regarding diagnoses, divorce, deployment, direction and addiction. God, You know the names, the hearts, the stories and the path of each of these prayers. And many more. Father, we gather together now to ask that You make their paths straight! Be the light that guides their every step!

Father, there are those of us who are still in the process of raising these blessed gifts. My heart pauses before You. Selah. Lord God, to train up our child to become the man or woman You designed them to be without allowing them to be scarred by the chaos that is overtaking our world seems too big for me to process right now. Oh Lord, here is my prayer, Lord God, guide me in creating within my son a heart for You and Your Word. Amen!

Father, lastly, I think of my girlfriends whose bellies, hearts and arms are full of new life. Lord God, thank you for the beautiful and miraculous gift of new life! I pray an abundance of joy and laughter upon these new mommas. Hear their quiet pondering, settle their internal dialogue, rest their fears or anxieties, and set their eyes on the Little one who is setting their eyes on the one thing they know, their mom. Connect their two hearts toward one another. And again, explode such joy and laughter all around them!

Sweet Father, thank you for these children that You have trusted us to love and raise for Your glory, for Your honor, for Your purpose and for our enjoyment. What a sweet gift You have created.

And thank you for calling me Your child,

Amen.
