Praying for Triple Smiles

I have just spent about an hour and a half in prayer for my Triple Smiles. I was wide awake at 3:30 am. I got up, straightened up the kitchen, brewed my coffee…and sat down for a nice coffee talk with my Savior. Its now almost 5:30 A.M. I wanted to write my mom and some other dear prayer partners an email..and decided to share it on my blog instead as a hope to encourage another mom out there.  This entry may be long…bear with me…my hope is you will leave encouraged.

Gordon and I attending a Wednesday night Bible Study together. Last Wednesday night…a young mom shared about a struggle with one of her children..and when she knew nothing else to do..she went to her knees.

On Thursday, True Woman posted this post on praying scripture for your children.
My dear friend Vicki for Christmas gave me a flip book of scriptures with the children’s pictures beside each verse.  She bought the flip book here.
I have blogged before about the importance of teaching kids scripture.
This morning the topic on my heart is instilling the desire to learn in all my children, but especially now in Zachariah as he approaches Kindergarten.


I found this prayer in the book The Power of a Praying® Parent Book of Prayers (Power of a Praying Book of Prayers) and wanted to share it with you.
Lord, I pray that Zachariah will have a deep reverence for You and Your ways. May he hide Your Word in his heart like a treasure, and seek after understanding like silver or gold. Give him a good mind, a teachable spirit, and an ability to learn. Instill in him a desire to attain knowledge and skill, and may he have joy in the process. Above all, I pray that he will be taught by You, for you Word says when our children are taught by you, they are guaranteed peace. You have also said “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction” (Prov 1:7) May he never be a fools and turn away from learning,but rather may he turn to you for the knowledge he needs.  I pray he will respect the wisdom of his parents and be willing to be taught by the teachers You bring into his life. Handpick each one, Lord and may they be Godly people from whom he can easily learn. Take out of his life any teacher who would be an ungodly influence or create a bad learning experience. Let him find favor with his teachers and have good communication with them. Help him to excel in school and do well in any classes he may take.  Make the pathways of learning smooth and not something with which he must strain and struggle. Connect everything in his brain the way it is supposed to be so that he has clarity of thought, organization, good memory and strong learning ability. I say to him according to Your Word “Apply your heart to instruction, and your ears to words of knowledge “ (Proverbs 23:13) “May the Lord give you understanding in all things” (2Tim 2:7) Lord, enable Zachariah to experience the joy of learning more about You and Your World.
Amen….
