Lifting Hands: Week of March 1, 2009

Keep ____________ from being snared by the words of his/her mouth. You've promised that "whoever guards his mouth and tongue keeps his soul from troubles" (Proverbs 21:23). Help him/her to put a guard over his/her mouth and keep far away from adversity.

"Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my redeemer." Psalm 19:14

The idea behind the blog

After reading Stormie Omartian's books (Power of a Praying Wife & Power of a Praying Parent), the Lord stirred in me a desire to share this burden of prayer for my children with other moms.

It is my hope this blog can become a place where you can come and say a prayer for your children (old or young).

A short prayer will be posted each Sunday which will lead us in prayer for the week concerning our children.

Feel free to leave comments as to how God is working in your life and the lives of your children.

I encourage you (and I will be doing it alongside you) to use a notebook to keep track of the weekly prayers - a prayer journal - where you can add more personalized prayers for your family and keep track of answered prayers.

Most prayers will be followed by Bible verses because "If we declare the Word of God in our prayers, then we wield a powerful weapon against which no enemy can prevail." (S.O.)

I hope this site will bless you and, more importantly, your children.

"The battle for our children's lives is waged on our knees. When we don't pray, it's like sitting on the sidelines watching our children in a war zone getting shot at from every angle. When we do pray, we're in the battle alongside them, appropriating God's power on their behalf." (S.O.)
