Spiritual Warfare

My prayer, Father, today, and always for my children is that you not take them out of this world, but that you protect them from the evil one (John 17:15). Oh, may John, Joshua, and Kate each have minds controlled by your Spirit for He brings life and peace according to Romans 8:6b. Thank you, Father, that You made Your own Son who had no sin to be sin for us, so that we might become the righteousness of God (II Corinthians 5:21). Specifically, for my John, Lord I claim: Galatians 5:1 -- It is for freedom Christ set us (will set John) free. Stand firm (help him to stand firm, Lord), then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again (Lord, I believe he is burdened again with some unwholesome friends with bad habits) by a yoke of slavery (please remove this yoke of slavery -- wanting to be accepted) from around him. Set John free, Lord!!

Thank you, Jesus that Never will you leave us, never will you forsake us (Hebrew 13:5b). What a comfort that You give each of us in your word and we know that your word will not return void.

I claim boldly for each of us, Lord, that "We, as your dear children, are from God, and have overcome them because the ONE who is in us is greater than the one who is in the world". 1John 4:4. And Father, cause us to love YOU more and more each day. You be glorified!
