Prayer Focus-Committing our Children to the Lord

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year of Focus, we take a look at the value of committing our children to the Lord.

Hannah did that for Samuel in First Samuel 1:27. She said to the priest Eli, “I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him. So now, I give him to the LORD. For his whole life, he will be given over to the LORD.”

Praying for our children is a precious and powerful expression of love for our children. We can pray for their protection, that God will guard their minds and hearts from the corruption of this world.

We can pray for direction, that God will guide them by His love in the way of His plan.

We can pray for their salvation, that they would grow up to love Jesus and live in His saving grace.

Committing our children to the Lord is worth examining for a faith-focused life.
