This is a ministry I feel God has layed on my heart to begin in this fellowship, after reading one of our sisters prayer requests for her lost child, and then
reading an article about another sister that had been led of God to begin the same ministry;

"Pray the Children" was God's idea.

"Our children, infants to adults, need to be covered with prayer on an ongoing basis. Sometimes, as parents, we are embarrassed to ask others to pray about our children because we don't want anyone to know what's going on in their lives. Drugs, sex, alcohol abuse, new age spiritualism, gay lifestyles, peer pressure, shyness and the perennial "God isn't real to me!"—all are just a few of the conspirators in the battle for children's minds and hearts. For our adult children, add financial problems, divorce, anger, job loss, stress, health and a host of other problems that sometimes widens the gulf between them and their Creator."

I weep when I read the cry of a parents heart for thier lost boy or girl,
because it presses deep into the burden of my own heart. God save our children! Last week a local elderly lady was interviewed on her hundred and ninth birthday, and they asked her if she had any words...blinded by old age, and barely able to speak, she whispered the words, "we need to help the young people." The interviewer asked "why is that?" She responded...so many temptations...so many temptations..."

Parents we have spent the best part of our lives busy at getting comfortable in life, busy with our careers, focused on our ambitions, wrapped up in our dreams (even when those dreams are for our children) and time slips away. Most of us are no futher ahead for all our busy lives, and if we were honest, many of us are likely further behind than ahead, all while so very many of our youth are slipping further and further away from God. I ask the question, when we come to the end of our lives, where will they be? Will we leave this world, knowing they are secure and safe in the Fathers hands, or will we only know regret for the time we wasted 'getting and going', while neglecting the life or death decision to hold them up to God in prayer?

For every hour of temptation all our children face, is there parents here who will give an hour in prayer? Will you pray for our children, will you allow us to pray for yours? If we come together in agreement, we can surround every one of thier lives with the strength and power of prayer, that the enemy cannot break thru! The power of Heaven still breaks the bondages of Hell! "Pray the Children!"

I am placing a 'sticky' on this thread, and asking as many of you as possible (parents and/or members) who are willing, to check in daily, and lift one anothers children up before the throne of God! You dont have to post a reply to the requests (unless you want too) but please check in as often as you can! If any of you have a child that you would like prayed for, please post thier name for us and I will add them to the list below.

Isa 59:1 Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear!

Mat 18:19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.

Pray the Children:

Yes I will do this. No hesitation.

Thank you kind sister

You know I am in.

This generation is the most banged up ever and instead of reaching out
to them, we give them hard looks and looks of disgust for the way they dress,and for thier tatts and piecings.

Never have so many grown up without fathers.

Most of these kids suffer from rejection to begin with and we heap it on.

We need to not only pray for our own, but for all of them.

If the devil can't get them one way he will try another, sickness and things like ADHD and the big new one is autism.

Prayer is our biggest weapon

Your sister in Christ,
AlabasterBox

that is an awesome Idea!

Does anyone out there have a speacial need for their child, let us know.

We will pray for them.

Where 2 or more are gathered.

One will put a thousand to flight, 2 will put 10,000 to flight.

Think of our numbers here, there is power in agreement.

Your sister in Christ,
AlabasterBox

Amen! I totally agree! This has been on my heart forever and a day! Let's lift them up, the more hands the better!

Dean,
John,
Elizabeth,
