praying scripture

i love to pray scripture over people. there is something incredibly powerful about using God's Word to speak to Him! there are some people that i have specific verses that i pray every day. there are others that i choose different verses for different days. (if you want to know if you have a personal one, you can email me :)) lamentations 2:19 says "pour out thine heart like water before the face of the Lord; lift up thy hands toward him for the life of thy young children..." sometimes i just lift up my hands and pour out my heart over my boys as they are sleeping! i believe with everything in me that prayer works!! a passage that i love that i am praying over them currently is in colossians. my prayer would go something like this...Dear Heavenly Father, I pray that Aj and Riley would walk worthy of you, Lord and that they would be fruitful in every good work. God, please help them to increase in the knowledge of You every single day! help them to be strengthened with all might according to your glorious power. give them patience, longsuffering, and most of all JOY!! Thank you Jesus!!

another one of my favorites is in Ephesians 1. this one would be...
God, i pray that you, Jesus Christ, our amazing and powerful Father would give Aj and Riley the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of you! Help the eyes of their understanding to be enlightened, so that Aj will know what is the hope of his calling. So that Ry will know the hope of his calling. Help my boys to know what the riches of the glory of YOUR inheritance are. help them to completely understand the EXCEEDING greatness of YOUR power toward them...because they belive!! according to the working of your incredible power. Thank you. amen.

i have another one i love for adam and the boys too. i'll put that in another post :)
pick a passage and pray it over the ones you love! and be SURE...that your fervant prayer will avail MUCH!!
