Hey friends!
Today’s blog may seem a bit different. It never fails that when you go to chase after something God has called you to do the enemy attacks with vengeance. He pulls at your time, charges at your mind and battles with those you love the most. This has been my past few weeks. It’s been hard. Sunday our pastor…yes my hubs, preached on having Holy Boldness. It’s his word of the year and we are two sermons in and I can go ahead and tell you it’s going to change my walk with the Lord. I’m tired of sitting back and just watching idly by as the enemy attacks me and everything and everyone around me. Especially watching him attack my family. You see, my daughter has been in the fight of her life here recently, she quite possibly will never read this so going to keep on writing. She loves Jesus, she does. I can see it, however the enemy has attacked her mind and self-image so hard that she is battling in a clay mud pit to keep her faith. It is absolutely heart breaking to watch. As a God-fearing mama I know He has her but I want her to feel that. I want her to embrace all that God has for her. I want all the blessings and joy that He can bring her to rain down on her. I want to see her truly happy again. I have shed many tears over the past few weeks and months pleading for Him to intervene. There have been moments I think maybe I see the light and then others when it feel dark and He feels distant.
After this past Sunday sermon I realized that as much as I feel like I’ve prayed for her I haven’t truly battled for her. This mama is pissed off at the enemy and is proclaiming the victory in Jesus that has already been won! I am armoring up and sinking myself down into the muddy clay with her. I am taking this week to fast and pray. No social media or aimless scrolling. I’m done spectating from the sidelines. So if you’re reading this and feel led to share on social then please do as I won’t be on there this week and honestly it may be longer. I truly believe in the power of the Holy Spirit and trust this will get to who it needs to. I also trust that He can and will move people, things and thoughts in and out of our lives so that we can grow closer to Him. Mama’s or anyone reading this that is sick and tired of the enemy attacking you and you’re family, I want to leave you with a prayer for our children. Especially those who are struggling in finding their way. Mine is directed towards my girl but you can adjust as you please.
My awesome Heavenly Father,
Today I come to You as a mama whose heart is breaking over the battle going on for her daughter…for Your daughter. You are holy, gracious, loving, merciful, forgiving, mighty, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. You are supreme and have complete control. Lord, I trust You. God, I lay my child at Your feet. I pray for her heart to be overtaken with Your presence and love. I pray she feels a joy and peace that leaves her knowing it is You and only You. I pray she begins to seek You out in every moment of her life. I pray over her mind that the enemy would have no place there and that You would bind the enemy away from her. I pray that she begins to truly listen and make changes to the music and people she is allowing to speak to her. I pray she has discernment to let go of who and what is corrupting her mind and to grasp ahold of what and who leads her closer to You. I pray she fills her mind with the knowledge of Your word and that she begins to seek Your face in all things. I pray that wisdom would begin to flow out of her and into her bible study time, her schoolwork, her sport, her job, and her relationships. Lord, I know You have a plan for her life and I pray she begins to talk to You daily about that plan and continually makes the needed changes to walk in parallel to the way You have set for her. Lord, I pray You’d move mountains in her life to allow Your plan to be fulfilled and I pray she picks up the shovel to help with that process. My most high God, I pray for her friend group. I pray You’d remove those that are hindering her walk, and I pray You’d bring into her circle those that will help her walk with You and flourish. Father, I pray for others to begin seeing the light within her and that they to would be changed for the kingdom. Lord, I pray that she finds favor with her family, her friends, her peers, her teachers, her coaches, her boss, her coworkers and any other person she encounters. I pray others feel blessed and closer to You because they have met her. Lord, please guard her physical being with a hedge of protection and protect her from injury and pain. Lord I pray for her future spouse that he, right at this very moment, is seeking to grow closer to You each and every day because he loves You and trust You and knows the only way to her is to go through You. My amazing and awesome God I thank You for this beautiful daughter of mine. You entrusted her to me to raise but God I offer her up to You in full surrender. I will parent her as You lead, I will love her as You love and I will protect her as You protect. Again Lord, I trust You in all the things and I love You with every ounce of my being. In Jesus name, amen.
It’s time to rise up mama’s and go to war, not with our children but for them. I pray you’ll join with me on the battlefield. We don’t have to fight but we do have to show up for the battle. Comment below and let’s start praying for each other’s children and families as well. Time to let the enemy know he has messed with the wrong women. Battle up!
Until next time, glow and grow,
