Life by His word. Praying God's great and precious promises over our children.

Lord, thank You for Your great and precious promises. Thank You for the promise of Life by Your word, You said in Matthew 4:4 and Luke 4:4 “It is written, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out the mouth of God.”  Lord, in the old testament in Deuteronomy 8:3, Israel was tested with hunger and then supplied with the manna whereby You, Lord, were teaching them that they will not live by material food alone, but also on spiritual food and Your words were their spiritual food; Your words are our spiritual food.  They are my children’s spiritual food.
 
Lord, I come before You today and thank You for the promise for my children of Life by the Word.  My children need physical food to survive but we know Lord this is only half of their need.  My children need spiritual food to thrive, to flourish and to blossom as You have called them to. Lord, may I be a parent that makes speaking Your word over my children a priority.  May I be a parent who incorporates Your word in our daily living, daily study, and daily disciplines.  May my children be fed by Your words.  As my children hear Your word, let them think about what Your word is saying.  As my children hear Your word, I thank You that their spiritual health and strength are increasing down to the inner person in them. As my children hear Your word, they are being empowered to obey Your will for them.  Your word is LIFE, Lord.  Your word in ALIVE!  Thank You Your words become alive to my children.  Thank You, Lord, that my children’s lives are enriched because of Your word.  Thank You, Lord, that You are sanctifying my children by Your word. My children will know Your word and know it is truth for their lives (John 17:17).  All Your scripture, all Your words, Lord, are breathed by You!  Continue to breath those words of life on my children.  Your words are useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness so that children of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work (2 Timothy 3:15-17).  My children, because of Your word, because they live their life by Your word, are equipped for every task You place before them and I thank You for this, Lord.   

So today, I thank You my children have the promise of life by Your word. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Praying this over your children is powerful!  Their lives will be changed for the better. Believe that!  I am praying God's great and precious promises over our children.  If you missed any of the prayers, you can find them here.
