Lifting Hands

On the parents' prayer blog, I've picked a theme for the month of July.  Following Stormie's 18th chapter in The Power of a Praying Parent, July's weekly prayers are focused on praying through our children's rooms.

"Everyone's house needs a spiritual houseclaning from time to time, especially in the rooms where our children sleep and play.  The Bible says if we bring anything detestable into our homes, we bring destruction along with it.  A holy housecleaning should be done periodically as a matter of principle, but definitely whenever you feel troubled by something in your child.  If he or she is becoming fearful, rebellious, angry, depressed, distant, strange, a disciplinary proglem, or having bad dreams and nightmares, sometimes simply praying through the room can change things quickly.  Singing Christian songs, humns, and worship choruses in the room is also very effective."  Stormie Omartian, ch 18

Enter of the rooms of your child(ren) and pray this prayer:

Crowd out any darkness which seeks to impose itself here, and let no spirits of fear, depression, anger, doubt, anxiety, rebelliousness, or hatred (name anything you've seen manifested in your child's behavior) find any place here. I pray that You, Lord, will make this room a holy place, sanctified for Your glory.


"Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes. Cease to do evil." Isaiah 1:16

May we join our hearts together in prayer, by lifting our hands and raising our voices to the One True God for the sake of our children.
