A Prayer For Children (Any Age)
I get so many parents that write to me with concerns for their children. As a parent myself, I certainly understand that it's a fine line between lovingly parenting your children and crossing a line into control. I have years of experience doing the wrong thing that I'm still learning how to 'undo.' Hopefully I'm improving with age! I can tell you with utmost certainty that trying to force your will into your children's lives when it comes to matters of faith and religious preferences can at times cause them to run in the opposite direction. Fear or faith determines which side of the line we're on. Fear controls and ends up producing rebellion, while faith and love work together in patient endurance, waiting for children to make the choice to find God and make a commitment to Him in their own time.
So, what do we do while we wait? Pray, of course. :-) And show love. Lots of love.
I modified a couple of prayers I already had so that they could be prayed over children of any age. I also added a little prayer for children to be able to say themselves which is included at the end. The intent of the prayer is to help take the struggle out of making good choices so that they can come to develop a healthy relationship with God and others. Explaining that to your kids is a positive motivation to actually help make their life easier, but again, praying the prayer needs to be their choice.
I praise You for my breath. I thank You for breathing life into my child.
I praise You for his/her life, the gifts You've given him/her and that he/she will use them for Your glory.

A Prayer for Children to Pray for Themselves:
Dear Heavenly Father,
I ask You to guard and protect me, and help me to do what is right. Help me to be smarter than the enemy and to recognize when he is trying to tempt me to do the wrong thing. I want to be a good boy/girl but I struggle at times with making the right choices. Can you please help take the struggle out of it? Help me not to give the devil a place where he can get me to do the wrong thing. Holy Spirit, I give You permission to take over when I feel tempted. I do not want to struggle and wrestle with the enemy. When I struggle with wanting to do something You would not approve of, please change my mind so that Your will for me becomes my will and my choice in that situation. When I may be prone to having a wrong response, I ask You to change what comes out of my mouth so that I please You, and honor and respect myself and others. I am asking YOU to take over when I am weak or tempted so that my true identity as Your child wins the battle. In Jesus name, amen.
I hope you find these suggestions and prayers helpful.
Bless you!!
A Prayer For Donald Trump
I pray for Your favor to help Donald
J. Trump, his family and his team of advisers. Empower them as Your agents to
overturn injustice, take dominion away from those that perpetuate evil, and
implement justice for the oppressed. Position yourself around them as a shield.
I pray You keep the Trump family safe and protect them from evil plots against
them. Give their security team wisdom and advance knowledge of any trouble set
against them so that it cannot be executed.
I ask You to give this team
the wisdom that the enemy cannot contradict nor refute according to Luke 21:15.
Bless this team and specifically Donald J.Trump and his family with
discernment, the Spirit of Understanding, prophetic insight and foresight.
Grant them the ability to formulate and implement excellent strategy against
all adversaries and enemies. Help them to be unpredictable to those that seek
to ruin them and thwart their success. Send out the weapons out of your armory
that will create fear and confusion in the enemy camp and eliminate the opposition’s
ability to advance against them
Lord Jesus, show those on the
side of opposition that You are not on their side fighting ungodly battles with
them and let them know there is no way they can win. Demoralize those that have
made the enemy’s agenda their own. Cause them to lose hope in their ungodly
leader(s). Release the fear of the Lord into their lives. Let them lose hope in those that are supporting the wrong causes so that they switch their alliances. I also ask You to
convince the American people to vote for Donald Trump. Let their voices be
heard and their votes counted. I ask that You expose all voter fraud and
prevent illegal activity from overturning the voice of the people. Let Your
angels be released on assignment to oversee these processes and insure Your
will come to pass.
I ask you to create calculated
disorder to weed out, pluck up and remove ungodly authority and all those
determined to fight for an evil agenda. Create enmity where it’s needed in
order to divide loyalties and tear apart the alliances that support and defend
evil. Help us make this nation great again with Your help. We acknowledge You
as our Creator and God of this nation. Thin out adversarial forces and cause
them to retreat, give up, and utterly take themselves out of the battle. Feed
the enemy's paranoia by convincing them that those they are fighting are
superior in every way and have capabilities that they cannot match. Release
information that convinces them they have already lost so that they will admit
their defeat. Send Your help in answered prayer quickly, O Lord. I bless Donald
J. Trump and ask that Your hand of favor and blessing be upon him, enabling him
to carry out all Your will and purpose. May it bring you great glory to see
every adversary defeated. In Jesus name, amen.
It's All About the Joy!
Do you know why children are naturally joyful? Because they don't know how to worry. Sure, they fuss when they need something, but they are naturally full of joy. They see the world through a lens of purity, love and absolute joy in the delight of discovery. As we get older, we lose that joy and innocence, but God wants to restore us to a place of childlike trust in Him. It's doesn't come easy. It comes with practice.
It starts by realizing that we really, truly, can trust Him - and letting go of all the things we can't control. It's letting go of the answers we can't produce and trusting Him to fulfill our desires and prayers in His time. It's a constant effort to let go and trust Him so that we can enter His rest. So, thank God for whatever you’re dealing with. Thank Him for
being bigger than what you see going on. Thank Him for what He’s doing that you
can’t see. Thank Him and praise Him for being the God of your turnaround. He’s
able! He’s just watching us to see if we will give him the right responses.
"Whoever offers praise glorifies me: and to him that orders his conversation aright will I show the salvation of God." Psalm 50:23, American King James Bible
Some versions say offer thanksgiving and others say offer praise, but they are really interchangeable. To thank God is to offer Him praise. It can be so easy to resort to complaining when we are stressed, disappointed or frustrated, but we have to embrace the challenges. It’s difficult, but as children of God it’s what we’re
called to. We really do have to make a choice what is most important. If we choose anger, frustration, unbelief, double-mindedness, complaining or bitterness, we aren't aligned with anything that God can put a blessing on. WOW. Stop and think about that for a moment, 'cause that's a big one. What is really most important? You can choose to keep a negative attitude, but doing so will cause you to forfeit the blessings of God.
"Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice that you share in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed at the revelation of His glory.…" 1 Peter 4:12,13 NIV
There is a time to go through the process that matures us,
and those can be very trying times. We have to go through the troubles and trials in order to produce a level of anointing. We have
to be stripped in order to be equipped. Those times can be filled with disappointment, discouragement and confusion. It can literally feel like the challenges come to wash away the very foundation of faith in your life, but those are the times when we are tested as to our responses. Complaining and negative words usher in the forces of hell to produce bitterness, unbelief and rebellion towards God. It strips us of anointing, power and blessing. What's more, it keeps people trapped in old cycles where they keep repeating the same sort of trials and they get stuck in the wilderness. WHY? Because they haven't learned how to take authority over their emotions and responses. Remember the Israelites? An entire generation perished in the wilderness because of bitterness and complaining! God can't and won't bless unbelief because it's aligned with rebellion.
"But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: "God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble." James 4:6, NIV
God can't bless pride or negativity, but He waits in order to be gracious to us. What does He wait for? (Hint: Repentance). A correct response of humility and faith!
"Therefore the LORD waits to be gracious to you, and therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you. For the LORD is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him." Isaiah 30:18 ESV
"Therefore the LORD waits to be gracious to you, and therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you. For the LORD is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him." Isaiah 30:18 ESV
Whoever offers praise, glorifies God.
Whoever glorifies God aligns himself with faith, which then allows God an opportunity to release a blessing. God has a process for producing an anointing in us. It’s called pressing, squeezing, crushing - because that is what produces the anointing oil. We have to go through things in order to produce
the anointing. But – when the process is complete and we are ready to enter a
new season – that is the time when often the fire of refinement seems to get
hotter. God squeezes the
oil out of you, and He will press and press until joy comes out of you IN SPITE
OF THE TROUBLES.
God wants to give us a fresh anointing. So many people have
gone through difficulties and they’ve been carrying a spirit of heaviness. Sometimes we can let that heaviness and discouragement or even feelings of being offended with God pull us away from fellowship or worship with others. A person can't grow if they're not rooted in Christ. Members of the body of Christ need one another. Believe me, I know all the good excuses and defensive comebacks...there was a time when I didn't want to be around others either. But we can't grow into maturity without others. The word of God says "iron sharpens iron," in Proverbs 27:17. One person sharpens another. We learn from one another. God puts His message into each vessel, and we each have a different part of revelation. When we share the word of God and the revelation He reveals with one another, we grow. Just like a plant cannot grow unless it is rooted in rich soil, and it cannot produce fruit if it is not rooted and stable, neither can a Christian grow, produce fruit and produce an anointing - unless we are rooted both in obedience and in the word of God.
"Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me." John 15:4 NIV
The word of God says that it’s the anointing that breaks the yoke. So
how are you going to break the yoke of heaviness, or disappointment, or
whatever you’ve been wearing – unless you’ve got the anointing? Others have been carrying around a yokes of condemnation,
worry, and all kinds of things that strip people of joy. When we’re stripped of
joy, we’re stripped of our strength. When we’re stripped of joy and
strength we’re stripped of anointing.
Do you have the oil flowing in your life?
When we’ve got joy, we’ve got anointing because they just
go together. God has been putting the same songs in my heart day and night for
the last two weeks, and it’s all about being happy. Joyful. The word happy is a
literal translation for the word blessed. I kept wondering why I couldn’t get
the lyrics out of my head, until finally, I got it. It’s all about the joy. God
wants to refill the wells that have run dry. He wants to refill the wells of
living water within us. Can you say with me, “SPRING UP, O WELL!” “LIVING
WATER, BE FILLED IN JESUS NAME!” Be grateful that your sins are forgiven! Do
you know how huge that is? Past, present and future. Your sins are forgiven in
Christ. That’s a reason to be happy! God is working on the situations that concern you. Whether you can see it or not, He never slumbers or sleeps. He's always watching out for us. That's a reason to rejoice! Sometimes we can't see what He's doing until one day our testimony just shows up! Believe it. Trust Him. The greatest evidence that we're really trusting God is to come to a place of total surrender. Surrender is making a choice to end the power struggle and the battle within yourself. When you choose to end the battle, your surrender produces peace, and joy always follows peace. Look back and remember all the times He's been good to you. Rehearse the goodness of God, not the disappointments. When we do, we build our faith and align ourselves for the blessing God wants to release. Friend, some of you reading this need to just surrender. Some of you need to get back in fellowship with other Christians. Lay down the excuses and just take those steps of faith to get back in relationship with others again. Trust God to help you overcome all your doubts, disappointments, and past negative experiences. Healthy relationships are a blessing from God and they add such richness to your life. They help you grow, and when you grow, you produce an anointing in your life that helps break the yoke of heaviness. God wants us to overflow with joy. Not the
kind you have to manufacture in your own strength, but the kind that brings
laughter in the face of whatever you’re going through. God wants to release a
fresh anointing in you that brings fresh strength. It’s the glory that rests
upon you, the glory and anointing that breaks the yoke. Not only off your own
neck but strong enough to break the yokes off of others too. An increase in joy
is an increase in strength to break through and a fresh anointing. when you choose joy, your spirit will agree and you really can enter into God's peace and rest. try it and see. Choose joy today!
Strategy for Crossing Over into the New
The other night I had a dream and in it I saw myself
telling others that their prayers and declarations had filled the bowls. I saw
myself holding up a lot of various mixing bowls as an example but they were all
empty! This portion of the dream points to the fact that the bowls of the
prayers and incense have been emptied out and the answers are falling to earth.
The
harps were instruments of praise; the vials were full of a sweet smelling
fragrance to the Lord, or incense, which signify the prayers of the saints:
prayer and praise should always go together.
“And
He came and took the scroll from the right hand of the One seated on the
throne. When He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the
twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp, and they
held the golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. And
they sang a new song: “Worthy are You to take the scroll and open its seals,
because You were slain, and by Your blood You purchased for God those from
every tribe and tongue and people and nation.…”
Rev. 5:7-10
I do not believe it is the final time of judgment, although
in every time and season there is an appointed time when the prayers of the
saints are fulfilled. I believe God is saying that this is one such ‘appointed
time’ when we see many prayers answered. O God, let Your daughter bring forth
the birth with joy and laughter at the goodness of God!
A Strategy for Crossing Over
I also saw myself singing a song
about ‘crossing over.’ The song reminded me of the Israelites crossing over into
their promise land. Suddenly I rose up and declared that this is a strategic
time and we must get out ahead of the enemy. I told the people to use all their
prayer declarations, as many as they could find, and bombard heaven with them
now! The strategy was that it would force the enemy to a battle in the airwaves
while creating opportunity for God to move the troops on the ground and help
them cross over. That’s us!
I was reminded of the
scripture in 2 Kings 13:15 where Elisha told King Joash to get an arrow and shoot
it out the window. Elisha told the king to keep letting the arrows fly but the
king lightly esteemed the words of the prophet and he only shot the arrows
three times. Elisha was very troubled by this and told the king that had he
only regarded those words as a divine command, God would have given him
increasing victory over a greater period of time. But, since the king did not
continue to strike at his enemies, his victory would be short lived and he
would not gain significant advantage over them. God is telling us now to strike
the enemy with heard-hitting prayers and decrees and the way will begin to open
up before us.
I started to see people get up but not quickly enough. The
floors and walls were melting. I knew that meant it would be significant of a
quick move, a quick transition, and people would not be able to take everything
with them. They would have to travel light. This is another admonishment to
prepare ourselves now, both in the natural and in the spiritual. Get rid of
unnecessary baggage! Let go of things that are not useful or necessary. Whether
it’s emotional baggage or material things, it’s time to let go of those things
you’ve been holding on to that serve no purpose.
Floors speak of the
foundation, humanity, even a place of threshing in prayer and intercession. They
also speak of humility. Walls speak of barriers, emotional hindrances and things
we may tend to resist. Walls also speak of things that separate us from God, ourselves
and others. I believe this portion of the dream has a double meaning.
First, it speaks of the need
to humble ourselves before God, to rid ourselves of stubbornness and resistance
to things He wants us to accept. Pride, fear and the need to try to control
things often hinders people from truly accepting God’s way as the best way.
These are barriers to our relationship with Him, and also tend to keep the god
of self on the throne of our hearts. Our Father’s desire is for us to trust Him
in all things and truly believe that He has a better way to build His kingdom
plans and purposes. We cannot build with God in the new if we are still
battling things within. As much as possible, be at peace with yourself and
others so that you are able to focus on what God wants to bring you into.
The second aspect of
interpreting the melting walls and floors is that it speaks of the current form
or the structure of the way we’ve always done things beginning to melt away. This
can be applied to many different things and the Lord is preparing us to be able
to receive the new. I saw a Christmas tree in this portion of the dream, and
Christmas trees can represent churches or ministries that appear outwardly
attractive but have no spiritual life. God is doing a work of separation and
those traditional churches that do not have spiritual life or power will be
affected by upcoming changes. God loves His people far too much to leave them
stuck in lifeless institutions that have a form of godliness but no power or desire
to become the tree of life that represents His kingdom. Religious forms that
deny the strength, power and effectiveness of God have no place in His kingdom.
They are simply a container that restricts faith and growth of those that
identify with them. God’s desire is to set His people free so that they can
experience more of Him and serve Him in a kingdom without borders. There will
always be people that are fearful of change and tend to resist it because change forces people out of their comfort zone, but it is
really important that God’s people trust Him to guide them through the process. He knows what is best, and His plan is to position His people to
expand His kingdom! His plans are always much better than we can understand at
the time. Get ready to move when God says move!
Praise Your Way to Breakthrough!
Lately I have felt very stuck and as though I just don’t
know what (else) to pray. I sat down and asked Holy Spirit to pray my Father’s
perfect will in all things pertaining to our lives, and to give me
understanding as I did so. As I prayed in the Spirit, immediately this is what
I heard and I had to share it because I feel so often we come to the throne
room the wrong way. We come with our agenda first! But here is what it sounds
like when Holy Spirit leads the way:
My Father,
I come before You with thanks
for who You are. I exalt You as Lord, Savior and King of Kings. I exalt You as
the name above every other name that has attempted to release oppression over
my life. I exalt You as Lord over every circumstance. I praise You for the way
You lead me by the hand and help me navigate through tight places. I praise You
for the way You restore my hope and help me overcome discouraging thoughts. I thank
You and praise You for teaching me Your ways so that my soul can prosper and I
can be in health. I thank You for getting my mind off of unfruitful thoughts so
that I can see your beauty. I thank You,
Holy Spirit, for sifting out the things that don’t even need to be in my
prayers. I thank You, Holy Spirit, for showing me how to pray in such a way as
to glorify Christ instead of my circumstances. I praise You for the way You
work through the impossibilities of my life. I praise You that You are in
control. I praise You that You watch over Your word to bring it to pass. I
praise You because I know that my prayers have been heard and I have what I
have requested. I praise You for the things I can see working in my life and
the things I don’t see. I praise You for the way that You are able to take
every circumstance and redeem it to bring hope and something that works for my
good. I praise You that You are the One who knows how to bring the missing
pieces together. I praise You for being the One who loves Me and aligns me for
blessing. I praise You that You are the One who leads me into the good plans
You have for me. I praise You for my breath. I praise You for life. I thank You
that when I praise You I see You in the highest place and my problems come into
perspective. I thank You that my praise defeats all the power of the enemy. I
thank You that when I praise You my faith is lifted and I get a spiritual
upgrade. I thank You that when I praise you prison doors are opened and I am
released from captivity. I thank You that when I praise You the invisible
barriers are broken. I thank You that when I praise You I receive revelation
and inspired thoughts from You. I thank You that You are the answer to
everything I need. I thank You that You are able to get through to those that I
cannot reach. I thank You that when I praise You the heavy yoke falls off. I
thank You that when I praise You my perception of Your greatness explodes in my
heart. I thank You that when I praise You my expectancy towards You increases.
I thank You that when I praise you, I know that nothing is impossible with You.
I exalt You because the name of Jesus is worthy of my praise!
I think I could have gone on and on, but you get the point. Friend, scripture reminds us that God resists the proud, but He gives grace to the humble. In other words, He may hear everything we say, but He doesn't release His help until our heart is positioned right. Let Holy Spirit shift your prayers and sift out the things that don’t even need
to be said. God already knows our frustrations, the things we worry about and
the burdens of our heart. He has a plan to take care of all that. What He wants
to hear from us is our worship! Thank Him for who HE IS and He will take care
of everything else!
Prayer for Healing Autism
Because I do not believe God wants us to surrender hope. We do not have to accept negative prognosis or diagnosis. Whether autism is the result of a vaccine injury or other physical condition, a generational curse or another spiritually rooted issue, Jesus Christ is the answer. His will is to heal and deliver. This prayer was specifically crafted for a child with severe autism. You too can believe that your impossible situation can be reversed when you invite God into the situation.
Note: I highly recommend a couple days of fasting in addition to making this prayer, for there are some demonic spirits that only respond to the additional component of fasting. Insert the name of your loved one in the appropriate place.
