“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock” Matthew 7:24, ESV.
Years ago, God led me to pray and confess key scriptures over my children daily. I didn’t know why it was on me so heavy to pray over them more than ever, but I was so glad I obeyed the Lord because months later, I discovered why He wanted me built up in prayer and in His Word.
In March 2009, our four-month-old son was admitted into intensive care for a failure to thrive, and digestive and thyroid issues. The situation didn’t look good at all, and as I followed the ambulance to the children’s hospital, I prayed, “Lord, not my baby! The devil can’t have my baby! Your Word says that the children you have given me are for signs and wonders (see Isaiah 8:18). You said in your Word that you would pour out your Spirit upon my seed and your blessing upon my offspring (see Isaiah 44:3). You said my seed would be mighty in the earth (see Psalm 112:2). Every scripture that I had been confessing over the past months was coming up into my heart like ammunition into a gun, and I was shooting them out with tears streaming down my face. God’s healing power touched my son’s body, and after three weeks in the hospital, he was completely healed! Praise God!
My sister, there is a reason your Father wants to spend time with you in prayer. There is an enemy whose primary goal is to steal, kill and destroy you and all that pertains to you (see John 10:10). It is in prayer that He downloads to your spirit what to pray for and what scriptures to confess so that you will be prepared. It is very difficult to build a house in the midst of a storm. Let’s build early. Let’s seek Him early.
Prayer: Father, I draw close to you now and ask that you show me what you want me to do. Reveal to me what you want me to focus my prayers on. Direct me to the scriptures you want me to confess. Prepare me for the storms that are sure to come. Show me how to build my prayer life and word life, not in a spirit of fear but in faith and confidence in you. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
(Read Matthew 7:23-25; John 16:13; Psalm 63:1)
(Scriptures to pray over children: Isaiah 8:18; Isaiah 44:2-4; Isaiah 49:25; Psalms 112:2; Psalms 118:17)

Sister Kesha, this is such a powerful devotion! I thank God that your baby boy is well. I pray to my Lord & Savior to have mercy on my 1st grandchild, a boy, who will be arriving in December & on his parents who are so happy. Dear Father, please have mercy on my husband & me as we await this child. Please forgive me my sins; show me how to pray & what Bible passages to read & study. I thank You, Father God, for all blessings showered upon my loved ones & me. Please have mercy on all who suffer & grant us peace. Amen ❤🙏🕊
