For This Child I Prayed

February 19, 2012

in God's Word,Motherhood

I have spent many an hour praying for my boys.

Even before I ever looked them in the eye, I prayed for their health, their spouses, and their salvation. I have called out to God in the middle of the night when the thermometer read 102. I’ve prayed silently while listening to the hum of the nebulizer as Alex had difficulty breathing. I prayed last summer when my boy was unconscious in the middle of the street, and again at the hospital when we were told there was a small mass on his spleen.

We prayed with Alex before he went into eye surgery. And I prayed with Stevie as we sat in the ER with a huge knot on his head. We recently prayed over Alex when he ingested a peanut butter cookie.

God loves my children even more than I do.

That is so hard for me to comprehend, yet I believe it with every ounce of my being.

 Today, I am asking you to join me in prayer for a sweet little boy named Colton.

A sweet angel that will be born tomorrow.

For today, I am holding on to His word.

“For the word of the Lord is right and true; He is faithful in all he does.” Psalm 33:4

“But I trust in you, Lord; I say, You are my God.” - Psalm 31:14

Praying that everything goes will with the delivery and that Colton is soon welcomed into the loving arms of his parents.

I agree it is so hard to fathom how much more God loves our children then we do, and that he loves us just as much. I really believe that God’s love is one of the simplest yet biggest mysteries out there.
