Lord Cover Our Children

The devastation of lives that have been lost just over the past several months is overwhelming. It is heartbreaking to think how many countless young people are literally been slaughtered everyday. I use the word slaughtered because of the brutal and violent killings that are taking place at large proportions.  

I was led by God to post a prayer for the children of this world. From infants to young adults the enemy has touched the lives of children world-wide from every walk of life. The media only magnifies certain ethnic groups but do not be fooled, Satan doesn’t care about nationality, or gender the Bible is clear, “he comes to kill, steal, and destroy" period.

In the matchless name of Jesus I pray for every young person that God will place a covering around them to ward off the attacks of the enemy. “No weapon that is formed against them shall prosper.” Lord, cover every child; they are the future of this world. Raise them up to be passionate, committed children of God with a heart after you, give them the power and anointing to destroy the enemies plots. At an early age give them the confidence to know who they are and whom they belong to and the value you have placed on their lives through the shedding of your blood. Help us as women and men of God to demonstrate and display the right example for young people, the example you have given us through Jesus Christ, and to impress your Word on their hearts so they will grow up to become strong, and focused in you. 

Lord we thank you in advance for answering this prayer and we believe by faith that it is so. 

It is written, “do not touch my anointed ones, and do my prophets no harm.” 

1 (Chron 16:22 ASV)
