The 2009-2010 school year has officially started! As parents, Allan and I have been praying over Austin and his second grade year and Austin has also used his prayer card to pray over his school year, staff and friends. So as I hugged and kissed him this morning on his first day I had the peace and comfort of my Jesus that he is going to have a great year and be in the safe and protective arms of my Lord and Savior! I also declare in Jesus name that he will be a light in the dark places and be a living testimony for Jesus! There is power in the words we speak over our children! "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6. Pray for your children to be leaders and not followers, that they will influence other children and teachers with the love of Christ that is in them, not follow those that have not come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. As my pastor said not long ago, "Beware of the beautiful side of evil". Those words are so true. Your children are never too young nor too old to have your prayer covering surrounding them. Pray over everything they want to do or participate in and who they want to do it with because God is all knowing and knows the beginning and end. Although it may seem harmless, it may not be Gods plan for them or send them in a direction that is not His will. If we pray I know God will keep us from harm and pour out His blessings on us for obeying Him. I encourage you today and everyday, as Ephesians 6:10 says, "Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might."
Blessings,
April Thomas
