TJAG E-Letter

August 2010

Dear Ladies,


Now is the time to demonstrate the power of prayer.  2 Chronicles 7:14 states, “if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”  

As children, whether they are yours or someone else’s children, now is the time to pray.  Prayer may have been removed from the school, but it has not been removed from our mouths and our hearts.  James 5:16b tells us “the prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective”.   The same tongue that we use to talk about the things that are going wrong in the world is the same tongue that can be used to pray.   Proverbs 18:21 states, “The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit”.  As we focus on our seeds, our children, we must pray for their growth and protection as they return to school.  

This year there have been numerous cases in the news where children have been taken from their homes, their schools; children have been found murdered, children have been violated, children have killed and attacked other children.  It is time to pray.  As we approach the anniversary of  “9-11”, we are reminded that it is time to pray.  We don’t have to wait for a reason to pray, there are many.  The Word of God directs us to pray.  Anyway, when we have done all that we can “humanly and erroneously” do, we cry out to God. 

This month let us pray, let us post prayers on Facebook, Twitter and the many electronic opportunities available to us.  Our prayer may be just what someone else needs who has no idea how to call on God.  Our prayer may reach someone who does not know how to pray.  So today, we begin by praying for our children. 

Father:
We come before you first asking your forgiveness of sin in our life.  We honor you as our God, King, EL SHADDAI; God all sufficient.  We praise Your name.  We acknowledge You as JEHOVAH-NISSI; the Lord our banner.  Yes, our banner on the battlefield of this world.  Today, we petition You for our children.  We pray that You will watch over them constantly, that You will shield their minds constantly, that You will stand up in them as they are faced with adversity.  We pray that Your blood will saturate their being.  God, we have planted Your Word in them in our churches, in our parent to child conversations, in Bible studies and in their youth gatherings.  Let the Word that has been planted in them rise to the occasion.

We pray that our daughters will represent You in all that they do.  We pray that You will give them all that is needed when they have an opportunity to share You with others.  As they begin studies in school, we pray that You will open their understanding.  Help them to learn well and retain what they learn.  Keep their minds safe.  Keep their relationships safe.  Protect them from any form of danger.  Keep them Lord, they are our daughters.

We pray for our sons.  Lord keep them strong as they grow as leaders.  Give them what is necessary to make the right decision in learning, relationships and exposure to crime.  Lord help them to remember to call upon Your name for You are a very present help in the time of trouble. We pray that You will keep them focused as they learn new knowledge.  We pray that You will protect their minds.  We pray that they will not be easily influenced by the enemy through the occult or any form that may come to confuse the Word of God.  We pray that You will stand up in our sons like never before.

Finally, Father, help us as women of God.  Help us to demonstrate Your goodness and power in our lives.  Keep our relationships with our children solid.  Give us the wisdom to allow them to fail and learn as they are getting up from a fall.  Direct us as we help them and not control them.  Keep our love for them strong, unconditional, tough and appropriate for the situation.  God help us to remain women, wives, friends and mothers of God.   AMEN


Prayerfully yours,

TJAG
