In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven(Matthew 5:16)
Yesterday while praying I had a burden to pray for all first born children! Tried to cover all first borns I know and remembered! Today, as I read these words the same thoughts crossed my mind to continue to pray for all children we know but covering our first borns as well ! Like Paul writes to Timothy let us pray that our children should remain in the guidance of Holy Spirit at all times. For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline" (2 Timothy 1:7).When children are young they depend on us to do everything for them. We consistently pray for their well being, as well as their will to succeed. As they grow old, we must keep them in our prayers and release them to the Lord. Pray over them trusting in God with all of our hearts that they may not be anxious about anything but grow in the grace and knowledge of God. Let us also pray the Aaronic blessing over all children we know "The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace" (Numbers 6:24-26).
