And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Matthew 4:19
Thought: If you read this verse you will notice that when Jesus invited His disciples to follow Him, it was not an invitation to do something for Him but it was an invitation to give Jesus an opportunity to transform them. Jesus told His disciples that if they chose to follow Him, ”He would make them…” We will always be an expression of who we follow and what we choose to yield ourselves to. Our prayer for our children in this new season is that they will live lives yielded and submitted to Christ and in doing so our children will have this seal on them: “Made by God”. Yes, this year our children will be God-made and Spirit-formed in every area of their lives and for this blessing we give God ALL the praise.
Prayer and declaration: Heavenly Father, I thank You that You have called and chosen my children to be a peculiar people (1 Peter 2:9) in their generation. Father, in this new season, I pray You will give [CHILD’S NAME] the grace to be fully yielded and submitted to You in every area of [his/her] life. Father, I thank You that even as [CHILD’S NAME] submits and yields to You, You will make something beautiful out of [his/her] life and [his/her] life will be a sweet-smelling fragrance to You and one that will bring Your name great honor. I thank You for hearing my prayer this morning. In Jesus’ precious name, amen.
