Last night during prayer and reflection, I thought about the sermon my Pastor preached earlier in the day. I always think about what is said and see how I can apply it to my life. I began to talk to God and He revealed to me some thing that a lot of folks tend to overlook. He showed me how in the old testament, the fathers prayed blessings over their kids. It made me look at my children and the blessings we want for their lives. It's one thing to hope for it, it's another thing to actually take those steps to make them happen. I know that God honors the prayers of His people and has given us power through our tongue.
So this week my dh and I are going to bless our children. We are going to talk tonight about the strengths and areas that need improvement in our girls lives. Then we are going to pray. Sometime this week we will call each of them to us, annoint their heads and speak blessings over their lives. We will praise and encourage the positive and pray for their strength to be able to make the needed improvements. We won't speak negatively about the areas where improvement is needed. Instead we will provide encouragement and ways to help. Then we will all gather together holding hands and will pray as a family for Godly strength and guidance.
I think it is important now more than ever for us as parents to bless our children, encourage them, and show them how to serve the Lord. I am thankful to God for placing this on my heart and I encourage you all to not only pray for your kids but to speak positivity and blessings in their lives. Take care Q
