I am accepting more and more that I cannot protect my children from evil 24/7. At times, this brings me fear, which I try not to dwell on. I know my Heavenly Father is also their Heavenly Father and He has promised to fulfill His purpose in each of their lives. I also know His love for them is far above my own and this comforts me.
This is my heart's cry for my children each day ~
Lord, thank you for Olivia, Kyall and Lucas. Please protect them when I cannot. Bring good people into their lives that will love them, encourage them and help them if they need it. Surround them with your angels in school today, as evil abounds. Shield their eyes from things that would corrupt or alarm them, protect them from any person who would take advantage of them in any way or hurt them in any way. Help them to make good decisions, choose their friends wisely, know when to say no and walk away and when to say yes and dive in. I ask that You would guard their hearts and minds and give them wisdom beyond their years. Open their eyes to understand Your Word and how to apply it. I pray for the adults in their lives who I don't know, that they would be responsible and know how to keep my kids safe if the need arises. Help them to be a light and to be a leader for good among their friends. Help them to share Jesus any chance they get. When the day gets rough, please remind them of Your love and that their parents love them dearly too.
In Jesus' name~ their Mom
