Lightning Speed Prayer

Our Dan in full stride (Left in red, white, and blue)
early 1990s

"Before the presence of the LORD, lift up your hands to Him for the life of your little ones." (Lamentations 2:19b)

At 33 and 30, my boys still call on their way to work each day for their morning blessing. My brother, Mark, happened to be sitting beside me today when I rattled off at lightning speed: 

"May the Lord make you the head and not the tail. May He bless the work of your hands and give you supernatural discernment to know where to be and when to be there. May He give you the ability to judge people and situations rightly. May He be your strong protection; may no weapon formed against you prosper , in Jesus' name, either physically or spiritually. May the Lord order your career steps according to His glory and best plans. May the Lord prosper you and your family in body, soul, and spirit. May He bless Mandy as a godly wife, mother, homemaker, and housekeeper. May He equip you in every good thing to bring your children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. May He bless your finances, and may Jesus Christ have first place in your life in everything. Amen."

"Woe!" Mark quipped, "God's probably saying, 'Wait a minute. Let me write all that down.'" (smile)

Beloved, pray, pray, pray for your children. Do it so often that you can rattle off godly blessing at lightning speed!
