MAY THEY KNOW
But Jesus called the children to him and said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
Luke 18:16 NIV
Dear Abba Father,
You are the Supreme Ruler of all creation. You have created this universe and galaxies far beyond what we can image. Yet You are keenly aware and in control of the most minuscule aspects of our lives. Thank you.
Because we can assuredly say that You love us, today we stand in the gap of intercession and lift up every child and young adult in this country. We ask that You would release Your Holy Spirit throughout this land to give our children the Spirit of wisdom and revelation so that they may know you better. We ask that the eyes of their hearts may be enlightened in order that they may know the hope to which You are calling them. We ask that they may grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Jesus for them.
As You promised to pour out Your Spirit on all flesh, we rebuke the devil from prohibiting our children from receiving it. Although we believe ourselves to live in the land of the free, there are many invisible chains which bind Your word from freely flowing in our schools. May the hearts of those who are against You be softened and may they accept the free gift of Your love.
We cancel and overrule in the name and authority of Jesus, every law or ruling that prohibits our children from freely worshiping You in their schools.
We stand on the firm Word of God that You are upholding the cause of our oppressed children and they will know that You love them.
We stand on the firm Word of God that You are giving food to our hungry children and they will know that You love them.
We stand on the firm Word of God that You are watching over the children of our land who are from another country and those in our land who are fatherless and they will know that You love them.
In the Name of Jesus, the One who desires children to come unto Him,
-Amen
