Psalm 66:19-20 (Amplified Bible) But certainly God has heard me; He has given heed to the voice of my prayer. Blessed be God, Who has not rejected my prayer nor removed His mercy and loving-kindness from being [as it always is] with me.
Since my kids are now grown they have begun revealing stories of their antics from their childhood. I can do nothing now to prevent those episodes or even punish them. It causes me to realize no matter how protective I was that I could not be there for them all the time. It is never too late to pray for your children. They are never too old to need prayer. They are never too far gone for God to reach. No matter what your relationship is with your children, pray for them. No matter how right their life seems to be, pray for them. No matter their age, pray. We may think we know our kids but only God really knows their relationship with Him. Only God knows what trials they may be facing, pray for their endurance. Only God knows their future and present health, pray for them. We all make bad decisions that will cost us later, pray for their judgment. We cannot be with our kids to protect them but God can. There is much in our kids lives that we will never know and certainly cannot prevent, but God knows and can be there.
Love and God Bless,
