A Prayer for Children Going Back to School

By Tonya Nash

Lord, I pray that you be with every child that is returning back to school this year.  Protect them as they wait at the bus stop, ride the bus, travel by car, or walk to school. Keep them safe from dangers seen and unseen.  Help our crossing guards and bus drivers to remain attentive on their jobs.


Give our children favor with their teachers and help them to pay attention in class.  Let this be their best year yet for academics, sports, and fine arts.

Be with our children’s teachers this year.  Help them to teach in ways that each student can understand.  Let them have reasonable expectations of our children and give them patience whenever their patience meter is running low.  Bless the teachers with administrative support whenever needed.

Help our children to stand against peer pressure.  Empower them to make decisions that will be pleasing in your sight.  Surround them with good friends that are positive influences.  Keep drugs and alcohol out of their reach. Help our children to keep their hormones in check, avoiding sex before marriage.  Protect our children from bullies and those that mean them harm.  Help them to work out their problems instead of fighting with each other.

And finally Lord, help us as parents to be even more supportive of our children this year.  Strengthen our discernment.  Let us know when something is going on with our children. Help us to keep them on track with their homework and study time.  Help us to remember all of the subjects that we took many years ago so that we can be effective in helping our children complete their homework.  

Provide for us financially so that we can allow our children to go on field trips, buy school yearbooks and pictures, have appropriate clothing for the seasons, school supplies, or whatever else our children need to enhance their educational experience.  Give us favor on our jobs so that we may be able to attend activities that our children may have during the work day.  Remind us of the need to pray daily for our children.

In Jesus’s Name,

Amen

What Happen To Your Rulership?

My desire is for women to be restored to their rightful place of rulership of Grace, Femininity, Beauty, Temperance, and Excellence.  Together they work from within and shine outwardly. The enemy of our soul works counterclockwise in that he uses the exterior and destroys what is on the inside. There is a direct correlation between rulership and judgment.  In order to effectively rule, there must be the practice of sound judgment.  When rulership is void of sound judgment, a poor rulership is inevitable.  Rulership is a choice.  You can either rule or be ruled.  Walking in rulership is important because it sets order and establishes boundaries.  God (YAH) has given us rulership over our conduct, appearance, and speech.  These things have rulership over you by choice. Rulership is the difference between YAH's people and the world. Rulership is living the way YAH (God) intended for us to live before the foundation of the world. It is time ...

Umbrella Lady

I have always admired this picture...the elegant lady with the umbrella...It reminds me of an expression my friend often says, " My Umbrella Has Holes ".  She was speaking of her life and some of the things she had experienced.  When I look at this picture I see my friend, an umbrella with out holes, happy, stately and strong. Do you ever feel like your umbrella has holes?  Life can sure make it feel that way at times.  Perhaps you are a single mother raising children on your own; or a college graduate having difficulty securing a job in your field. You may be a teenager feeling like you don't quite fit in. Maybe you are a victim of rape or incest and you feel so violated that you wonder if you will ever regain your life back. Perhaps you are sadden over a  loss of a job,or dealing with a sickness that have you asking, " Why Me ". These are certainly," My   umbrella has holes moments ". Although we may have our umbrella has holes moments/sea...

Feed My Sheep

Jesus Reinstates Peter John 21:15-20 New International Version (NIV) When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said,  “Feed my lambs.” Again Jesus said,  “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus said,  “Take care of my sheep.” The third time he said to him,  “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time,  “Do you love me?”  He said, “Lord, you know all things;  you know that I love you.” Jesus said,  “Feed my sheep.     Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.”   Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death ...
