Prayers for a Mother’s Day: A Prayer for My Children

“And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man.” Luke 2:52 ESV

I love today’s key Scripture; it shows Jesus’s humanity so beautifully.

It’s beautiful because it shows that even Jesus had to increase in wisdom, stature, and favor with God and man. He also had to nurse, have his diapers changed, and even had to learn how to walk- just like our kids.

As I read this Scripture, I see the importance of asking God to make our children like Jesus- to grow to be healthy, to grow intellectually in their learning, to establish good life habits, to learn how to get along with people, to have the blessing and favor of the Lord on their lives, and to excel in the wisdom of God.

Mama, God wants us to think bigger about our children’s lives and ASK Him for MORE! Ask God to bless your children more than they can ask or imagine and for them to be movers and shakers in their generation for Jesus!

Pray this prayer with me…

“Lord, Please bless my children. Enlarge their influence. Cause them to be movers and shakers in their generation for Christ.”

He loves answering your faith-filled prayers! Can you imagine how God will answer? It will be more than your wildest dreams!

I’m standing in faith with you for my descendants too! I want God to do GREAT things in their lives and use them as He did David- to do the will of God in their own generation. He will answer your prayers, Mama, and oh, the amazing lives they will live for Him as we ask!

Love,

Deb and the Help Club for Moms Team

Co-founder at Help Club for Moms

My name is Deb Weakly and I helped create the Help Club for Moms with one goal in mind: to create a community in which moms help moms to know the love of Christ. My own childhood was difficult and filled with sadness. I didn’t grow up in a Christian home, so when I became a Christian (and soon after, a mom), I had no idea what I was doing; I didn’t know what it meant to raise Christ-centered kids, but I so desperately wanted to learn.

I remember going into my daughter's room night after night and kneeling beside her bed and crying my heart out to God because I didn’t know how to be a Christian mom; I felt like I had no idea what I was doing. You know what? God is so faithful! He answered me and simply said, “Spend time with me, Deb.” And so I did. I began arising 15-30 minutes earlier each day so I could read my Bible and pray, and plan out my day with my family.

If there was one thing I would love to share with you is that God is personal and loves you as you are. You don’t have to be perfect to be loved by our amazing God! Come as you are! His loving presence can be practically known and experienced. He is not a God who is far away, He is near and easily found. He longs for you to come to Him!

Randy and I have been married for 28 years and we have two grown children, Christie, and Jack, and one answer to prayer son-in-law named Alex. And now I get to be a Gigi to my sweet little grandbabies, Aspen and Skylar! Yay!
