This poor man called, and the Lord heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles. (Psalms 34:6)
Dear Lord,
As these children grow up and face the real world, they will encounter financial difficulty and stress. They will have times when making ends meet will seem impossible. They will wonder how they are going to make it. Add that to the normal stress of marriage and raising children and that stress can be debilitating. It can destroy marriages and relationships. It can destroy faith.
I firmly believe that a Christian who walks in faith and in community will be given his daily bread while in this life and will ultimately be saved of all his troubles in eternal life with you. I pray that these children will learn to walk by faith. Faith in your promises, desiring only their daily bread, realizing that to have more than that is a blessing from you and trusting that you will provide for them today and that tomorrow is in your hands. By that I pray that they are spared the trauma of worry, rather that they are able to live in joy in the midst of daily trials. Lift up their heads to see your face and your assurances. Protect their budding trust from the attack of the evil one, while you build their faith as they begin to look to you.
Amen
