Pray With Lillie

Join me as I take on the challenge of praying for unbreakable protection and covering my child in God's armor!

As parents, there's nothing more precious to us than our children, and we want to do everything in our power to keep them safe from harm. But in today's world, there are so many dangers lurking around every corner, from bullying and-peer pressure to spiritual attacks and temptation. It's a daunting task, but I'm reminded of the powerful words of Psalm 91, where it says, "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty."

Children today are growing up in a world that's vastly different from the one we knew as kids. They're exposed to so much more, and it's easy to feel overwhelmed as a parent trying to navigate all the potential pitfalls. From social media to peer pressure, from online predators to moral decay, the threats to their physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being are real and ever-present. And let's not even get started on the spiritual attacks that can come from the enemy, designed to steal, kill, and destroy our kids. It's a scary thought, but one that we can't afford to ignore.

We can't be with our kids 24/7, and even when we are, we can't always protect them from every danger that comes their way. But what we can do is cover them in prayer and invoke the power of God's protection over their lives. We can pray for their safety, their wisdom, and their courage in the face of adversity. We can ask God to give them discernment and to guide them along the path of righteousness. And we can trust that God is faithful to answer our prayers and to watch over our children with loving care.

As we explore the concept of spiritual protection, I want to take a closer look at the armor of God as described in Ephesians 6. This powerful passage reminds us that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. It's a battle that requires us to put on the full armor of God, so that we can stand firm against the enemy's schemes. And what does this armor consist of? The belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit. Each of these components is crucial in the spiritual battle, and I want to unpack them a bit further.

The belt of truth, for example, represents the foundational truth of God's word, which is what holds everything else together. Without a clear understanding of God's truth, we're left vulnerable to the enemy's lies and half-truths. The breastplate of righteousness, on the other hand, speaks to our integrity and moral character. It's about living a life that's pleasing to God, and having a heart that's pure and clean. The shoes of peace represent the gospel of peace, which is the good news of Jesus Christ. It's the message of hope and redemption that we need to share with our kids, so they can understand the depth of God's love for them.

As we continue to explore the armor of God, I want to look at the shield of faith, which is what protects us from the enemy's flaming arrows. It's about trusting in God's goodness and His plan, even when we can't see what's ahead. The helmet of salvation represents the assurance of our salvation, which is what gives us confidence and hope in the face of uncertainty. And finally, the sword of the Spirit represents the powerful word of God, which is what equips us to fight against the enemy's schemes.

As we pray for our children, let's invoke the power of God's armor over their lives. Let's ask Him to surround them with His protection, to guide them along the path of righteousness, and to fill them with wisdom and discernment. Father, we come to You today, asking for Your divine protection over our children. We acknowledge that they're not ours, but Yours, and we surrender them to Your loving care. Cover them with Your armor, that they may stand firm against the enemy's schemes.

We thank You, Lord, for Your promise to watch over our children and to keep them safe from harm. We thank You for Your faithfulness and Your goodness, and we trust that You will answer our prayers and bring peace to our hearts. Let's take a moment to pray for our children, trusting that God will hear our cries and answer our prayers.

As we close, I want to leave you with the assurance that God is indeed our rock, our refuge, and our salvation. He is the one who watches over our children and keeps them safe, and He is the one who will guide them along the path of righteousness. Let's continue to pray for our kids, knowing that God is faithful to answer our prayers and to bring peace to our hearts.
