Good morning to everyone. Grace and Peace be with you.
Have you ever noticed how sensitive kids are these days? I mean, super sensitive. To the point that if everything is not rainbows and unicorns, it must mean death. This is a concept that is very difficult for me to relate to … on many different levels. One of which is my overall personality and mentality of ‘get er done’ and then the faith that I have that is so strong. This ideology of golden or gone just does not make any sense to me.
However, because I know it exists, I have made it my absolute goal to ensure that my grandchildren always know that they are loved … unconditionally and forever … no matter what. From the time they were born, I have repeated this statement each time that I had them, they had a sleepover, or we were out on a walk. When they have been away for a good amount of time and they return for a visit, they must repeat it back to me. I want them to know that there is nothing that will make me not love them.
I express that I will not always agree with them or their ideas. I let them know that they will disappoint me and that I will get angry with them for their choices that I feel are wrong. I do not hide my frustration or desire for them to excel … but no matter what … my heart belongs to them forever. It is one way that I know to make sure that this particular thing in society does not consume them. Make it abundantly clear that the love is real and unconditional.
What is so frustrating is that, with all my acknowledgment and displays of consistent, repetitive, honest engagement and respect that I openly give, their first thought when they get into trouble is that I don’t love them anymore or worse … the enemy plants thoughts of self-harm.
The dark in this world is so thick, so embedded, so involved in the vulnerability of our youth that the ‘perfect’ life must exist to fight against it. The perfect life does not exist in human form, and he uses that against us. I don’t know exactly when the shift in the universe happened to create such a calamity, but I am a soldier, and I have been called to battle. The battle is for our youth, for our returning soldiers of war, our elderly, and our fellow neighbor who is going through a trial. In what feels like an overnight win for the enemy will be the miracle testimony for the Father as we all stand together as one body and pray for the lost.
Will you stand with me in prayer over our communities, our children, our grandchildren, our parents, our soldiers, our law enforcement, our neighbors … will you stand and proclaim God’s promises to never leave us … will you stand on His promise that where two or more are gathered He is there … will you stand with me seeking His face and His guidance first?
Father, we come to you as a community of soldiers proclaiming your promises that where two or more are gathered, You are there. This page has over 200 dedicated soldiers of prayer. We stand in unison and in intercession, filling the gap between the lost and weary to you. We bind the evil mindsets, the minions of destruction and mayhem, the thoughts of self-harm, and cast them to the driest of dry places, Lord. We declare in Your name that those voids be filled with Your love, Your peace, Your joy, Your calm, Your overall presence. Our hands are linked, and the circle of Your grace and mercy is established. Create in this darkness, Lord, Your unmistakable presence and may the brilliance of Your presence fill those who are struggling. We claim Your victory in Jesus' name. Amen.
Be blessed.
**Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. –Philippians 4:6-7
