dear emily,
a wise woman steered me to the scriptures when praying for my children. i just insert their names and pray, believing He is able to do what He says.
ephesians 3:14-19
"for this reason i kneel before the Father, from whom His whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. i pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen ____ with power through His Spirit in their inner being, so that Christ may dwell in their hearts through faith.
and i pray that they, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how WIDE and LONG and HIGH and DEEP is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge-
that they may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God."
love,
lea
ps. i include your little ones, too.

I love that prayer from Ephesians, especially the promise at the end... "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen." What a beautiful passage.
amen!
