Prayer for My Children Day 30: Prayerfulness

Day 30 Prayerfulness "Grant, Lord, that my children's lives may be marked by prayerfulness, that they may learn to pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests" (Ephesians 6:18)

When my children were little, they would put on a cape, pick up a stick, put on bicycle helmet, make a cut out card board shield and run around the house pretending to be a hero of some kind rescuing the humanity. I used to enjoy seeing their playfulness and creativity in action. Maybe we have the innate ability and desire to protect what is important and precious.

During my fight with cancer, not knowing for sure if I would live much longer, I thought about what I would really want for my children. I mean I want so much for them, but what would be one thing I want to make sure, if I could, that they possess. If I knew they didn't have this thing it would absolutely break my heart. What would that be? I would say it is their personal relationship with God. If I want only one thing for them, I want them to have that genuine and intimate relationship with God. Not church going, raising hand worshiping, bible-verse throwing, busy work Christianity, but pure-hearted, humble-serving, gentle-speaking, leaning-towards-God kind of intimate relationship with their Creator. That each and every work of their hands, words of their lips, and thoughts will be of the Truth. That's what I want for them, guard their hearts and put on the armor of Truth. I pray that my children will know that they are protected and serving the only God today.
