Praying For Your Child to Love God's Word
A couple of weeks ago I posted about how I'm venturing through the book, "Praying The Scriptures For Your Children". I'm just loving it and finding so much I need to be praying for that I'm not - especially for my children.
I love how my oldest is really interested in prayer, the bible, and God's love. I must remember to continue to be praying for him to love God's word more and more everyday.
The next chapter I read through was "Praying For Your Child to Love God's Word".
Psalm 119:11 says, "I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you."
"A love of Scripture can begin at an early age. We (as mom's) love the snuggle time we get when we "read-aloud" to our children and then tucking them into bed. What better book to read than a colorfully illustrated children's bible. These bedtime rituals are only the beginning. Psalm 119:105 likens God's word-- his laws, his commandments, his promises--to a lamp that sheds light on our path. Perhaps nowhere is this guiding light more necessary (or more welcome!) than when our children have ourgrown our laps, when peer relationships, academic challenges, and other pressure points can generate a cloud of darkness or confusion in their lives."
I really have tears streaming from my eyes. We only have a short amount of time to instill the word in our children. To tell them of God's great love. To teach them right from wrong. And how scary it is when we dont take full advantage of teaching them EVERYDAY. What is more important than this? Absolutely Nothing!
Our prayers are the first line of defense against these clouds. Its obvious that Satan wants to destroy our families and he is always on the lookout for ways to sow seeds of destruction.
The book shares 3 Prayer Principles for Praying For Your Child to Love God's Word:
- Praying for your children to know, love, and use God's word is one of the most effective ways to pray for their spiritual protection.
- When you ask God to hide his word in your child's heart, you are asking him for the blessings of wisdom, protection, and freedom.
- Enlisting the support of a praying friend multiplies the power of your prayers and invites God into your prayer circle.
This chapter shares some prayers we can use to pray for our children:
Heavenly Father.....
"Let _____________________ keep your words and store up your commands so that he will live. Cause him to guard your teachings as the apple of his eye, and let them be written on the tablet of his heart."
"Show __________________that your way is perfect and your word is flawless. Be her sheild as she takes refuge in you."
"Show ____________________that all Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness."

Hip Homeschool Hop and giveaway!
Today's giveaway is from JumpStart!
We LOVED playing on JumpStart.com and their website. I was shocked when I saw how involved it got my 4 year old. He loves using the computer and this was right up his alley. {Of course we monitor how much computer time he uses and what computer games he plays}.
What is JumpStart? For more than15 years, Knowledge Adventure has set the standard in kids’ software by creating the finest educational products for use in the home and the classroom. In addition to our CD games, we’ve launched a browser-based virtual world at www.JumpStart.com, for kids 3-10years old. Kids can create avatars called Jumpeez for themselves and explore magical worlds, discovering and unlocking games, videos and storybooks that teach everything from math to reading.
He began with creating his own avatar and account profile. Boy, did he love this! He has spent some time on this game and loves using all of it's features. His favorite games to play were the sports games.
There are many places to explore once you launch the game, some of which you may already be familiar with. The first is an area called StoryLand, aimed at 3-5 year olds. Children can also explore AdventureLand and MarineLand, designed for kids in kindergarten to second grade. In addition, children in 3rd to 5th grade may be interested in checking out FutureLand, geared towards older children. The newest and most popular feature is the Enchanted Sanctuary, where kids can hatch and raise their own dragons!
As part of your membership, there are more downloadable games offered under "Manage Account">"Downloadables" (when logged into JumpStart.com) These games contain thousands of additional lessons.
I encourage you to explore our own JumpStart Blog at http://blog.jumpstart.com for information about the latest additions to the game. There is also a JumpStart facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/JumpStart
