Ever have scripture just pop out? This morning, God spoke to me with these verses. I have never chosen scripture for my children but I have now made this my prayer for Bubs.
Colossians 1:9-14 (The Message)
Be assured that from the first day we heard of you, we haven’t stopped praying for you, asking God to give you wise minds and spirits attuned to his will, and so acquire a thorough understanding of the ways in which God works. We pray that you’ll live well for the Master, making him proud of you as you work hard in his orchard. As you learn more and more how God works, you will learn how to do your work. We pray that you’ll have the strength to stick it out over the long haul—not the grim strength of gritting your teeth but the glory-strength God gives. It is strength that endures the unendurable and spills over into joy, thanking the Father who makes us strong enough to take part in everything bright and beautiful that he has for us.
Do you have a chosen scripture for each of your children? Care to share?
Thank you for sharing! Those are some great verses. You know, I never thought to pick out specific verses for my children. I may have to think on this awhile and as God to lead me. In the meantime, I might just borrow yours for awhile. 🙂
