He Promises to Protect and Heal Us

I called to the Lord in my distress; I called to my God. From His temple He heard my voice.
II SAMUEL 22:7 HCSB

Dear Lord, I pray that You will give my children the strength to meet the inevitable challenges and hardships of life. When my children are fearful, give them courage. When they are discouraged, give them hope. When they are worried, give them faith in the future and faith in You.

I pray that my children will treat their disappointments as opportunities to trust You more. You are always with them, Father, and no problem is too big for You. I pray that they focus on Your love and Your protection, now and forever.

Amen.
