Prayer for My Children Day 7

Day 7: Justice: God, help my children to love justice as You do and act justly in all they do (Ps.11:7, Mic 6:8)


On my phone, I have my family's phone numbers saved with an adjective before their names. For my second child, I have it saved as "Justice J". My kids think I am corny for doing such things but it is a reminder for myself and for them of my hope and prayer for each one. One thing that I hope to see in my children is their passion to help the weak and the needy: The helping hand to reach down to the trenches and lift them up. I am so glad that it has become very natural for my kids to think about forming their own families through adoption. They freely share how they want to go beyond their parents and adopt from other races and ethnic groups. We get excited imagining what our family might look like one day. I pray that their spouses will share the dream, but at the same time I acknowledge that each one of them may have different calling from God.

I hope and pray that my children will know God's heart for those who don't have a voice, those who are unable to protect and fight for themselves. I hope that they may gain this truth by reflecting on their own need for love and justice in humility, so that they can relate to those in need without self-righteousness, then they will be driven by the grace of God to reform and restore where they are called.
