This is actually the same prayer that we began the Pray For Your Wife Challenge with. It is, I believe, the greatest thing that we can pray for those that we love.
Day one begins now:
Day One: That He Would Have an Abiding Satisfaction in God
You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. –Psalm 16:11
The greatest thing that we can pray for our sons is that they will be eternally satisfied in God. At His right hand is where pleasure is to be found, and in His presence alone fullness of joy is to be found; for our sons to drink from any other fountain will only multiply his sorrows (Psalm 16:4). Therefore, we must pray that our sons find their deepest satisfaction in God
Father, I pray that you would cause my son to find his deepest satisfaction in You. Rescue him from looking to other things to find satisfaction and pleasures. Help me to lead him in my enjoyment of You. At your right hand is where joy is found. Help us to truly believe this and live accordingly. In Jesus name, Amen.
Father, I thank you for my sons. I pray that the faith that they exhibit today would continue to grow into their adulthood and as a fundamental part of that faith that they would find their satisfaction in you. I pray that they would continue to thank you for your providence and that they would bring their requests to you in good times and bad times. I pray that they would not envy your provisions to others that they lack.
Thanks for this, this is a good way to start to pray for my kids.
