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.”

Prayer for Our Plans

- JaclynPalmer Leave a comment

Sweet Father,

How thankful I am for this new day that sits before us. You have filled us with your mercies anew. You have given us a new song on our hearts. Our new name shines your light upon our stories radiating the evidence of your love even upon the darkest of shadows.

Yes, Father, how thankful I am for this new day!

I pray You will be with each of us this day. Lord, You know the plan we have set for our specific day. I pray you will give us the strength and wisdom and focus we need to accomplish our personal tasks. I pray that we will be mindful of Your plan for our day as well.

Give us the flexibility we need to engage with the people that need our attention. Father, this is hard at times. I know when I set out to complete my to-do list and my men need my attention…Oh, Father, sometimes I get all discombobulated and end up feeling useless or unaccomplished.

Remind us that the people in our lives are center points of your plan for our days. Caring for them, helping them, teaching them, training them, loving them is far greater than most other things. Lord, employment is a vital part of life. Ministry does not take a break. Life is real. We cannot forego our responsibilities. Again with the feelings of discombobulation! We are pulled in many ways, but God is faithful! You will see us through this day at hand.

You promise to walk with us. You promise to hold us. You promise the fruit of the Spirit to be always within us. Your word declares victory upon us. I pray we will walk with You. I pray we will rest in Your hands. I pray we will spill forth the fruit of the Spirit. I pray we will claim victory.

Father, this day is a new day. I pray it will be according to your plan. Make straight our path and give us grace with each and every step.

Amen
