Christian Reflection and Prayer

WE NEED TO PRAY FOR OUR CHILDREN

Matthew 19:13-15 (NCV)

Jesus Welcomes Children
13 Then the people brought their little children to
Jesus so he could put his hands on them[a] and
pray for them. His followers told them to stop,
14 but Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me.
Don't stop them, because the kingdom of heaven
belongs to people who are like these children." 1
5 After Jesus put his hands on the children, he left there.

Reflection:

One of the most difficult tasks of any adult is to
bring up a child. This by no means is a easy task.
It involves a great deal of patience, love, discipline,
and understanding. Lets face it, we need help.
This is one road we cannot face alone. We as
parents must realize that there is someone with
us all the way. This teacher, this counselor, this
lord and master is the parent of all parents. HE IS
GOD!. HE IS OUR SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST!
We need to bring our children to Jesus, because
He wants to heal and bless them. So it is our
privilege and responsibility as parents to talk to Jesus
about them daily, whether they are sick, rebellious,
or they are doing well. We need our Savior to
give our children all that they need to get a long
in this life. Please parents always remember
that Jesus is there for you to make a task into
joy.

Prayer:

Oh mighty God my Lord and Savior, I need
Your help. My child needs Your help. This
world is not child friendly. Help me oh God
to be a parent like you, patient, loving, kind,
and understanding. In Jesus name Amen .

Do you sense that God is on your side?

On the very day I call to you for help,
my enemies will retreat. This I know:
God is on my side. O God, I praise
your word. Yes, Lord, I praise your word.
I trust in God, so why should I be afraid?
What can mere mortals do to me?
I will fulfill my vows to you, O God,
and offer a sacrifice of thanks for your help.
For you have rescued me from death;
you have kept my feet from slipping.
So now I can walk in your presence,
O God, in your life-giving light.
Psalm 56:9-13 NLT

Praise for God's Rescue

Scripture:

O God, you will keep in perfect peace
those whose minds are fixed
on you; for in returning and rest we
shall be saved; in quietness and
trust shall be our strength.
(Isaiah 26:3; 30:15)


Prayer for Peace

Heal my wounded heart.
Grant me the courage to change my heart.
Let Peace live in my heart.

Fill me with compassion for those suffering in war.
Help me care for those in war.
Help me bring Peace to those in war.

Help me stop wars.
Help soldiers stop wars.
Help leaders stop wars.

Fill me with Peace and Justice.
Help me to work for Peace with Justice.
Let there be Peace with Justice among all peoples.
In the name of the one who is Peace, In Jesus
Name Amen.

HAVE A BLESSED AND PEACE FILLED NEW YEAR
