EACF 40 Days of Prayer 2019
Day 13: For our children
At EACF we have about 32 children in our congregation, from 13YO down to infants. With no child over middle school age, we have a congregation with many young families. Still, the world is very different than it was even 20 years ago - school shootings, terrorism, the internet and social media, etc. How do we pray for our children when they're facing all this and more? Pray for them to know God is real, God is near, and God is loving and gracious. Pray for them to hear the Gospel, grow in knowledge of His Word, and experience grace through their parents (primary) and church community (partnered with parents). Pray for their parents as well, that we would grasp our role in discipling our children and showing them Jesus.
"Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.” - Deuteronomy 6:4-7 ESV
"but Jesus said, 'Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.'” - Matthew 19:14 ESV
