A Prayer For My Children From Matthew 24

My heart is heavy, Jesus, with what I know is coming. Please hear my prayer.

I ask that my children would not be led astray. Many are going to come in your name, saying that they are the Christ. Many will be led astray; please put a hedge of protection around my children. Surround them. Do not let the enemy penetrate the barrier that you will put up. I ask that they would not be led astray.

God, I pray that when they hear of wars and rumors of wars, that they are not alarmed, because this must take place.

Many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another, but I ask that this would not be the case for my children. I pray that they would be faithful and true and love as you have loved. Please, protect them from falling into what will become the norm. Protect their hearts.

Your Word says that false prophets will arise and lead many astray. God, please,would you give my children spiritual eyes to see when false prophets have risen up? Please, don't let them be led astray. Let them be in your Word and may they hear your Spirit speak to them. God, I pray that you would give them discernment and wisdom.

Lawlessness will increase, even more than now. Because of this, many will grow cold. Please, not my children, Father. May their love be a burning flame for you. May they proclaim the Gospel throughout the whole earth, and may their hearts never grow cold!

If they should have to flea, God, I pray that you would give them strength, courage, and wisdom. Please, would you protect their health during this time? Would you supernaturally help them during this time? I believe that you are the same God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; please speak to my children! Show them that they do not have to be afraid. I ask, God, that they would continually keep their eyes fixed upon you. I thank you that those days have been cut short for the sake of the elect. Thank you for your mercy and for your grace.

Oh, Father, if anyone should say to them that they have seen the Christ in the wilderness or in the inner rooms, do not let believe it for even a moment. Increase their faith. Help them to hold fast to your promises and to your Word. Help them remember what you have said if they no longer are able to physically open a copy of your Word.

Heaven and Earth will pass away, but your Words never will. Give them a love and a zeal for your Words! Please, oh, God, I ask that they would love your Words!

Nobody knows the days when you are coming back. I know the temptations to drink and eat and forget the reality of what is coming; I pray that they would be ready for you. I pray that they would not grow weary in waiting like I have. Forgive me, Father. Would you give them more love for you than I have? Would you give them more faith in you than I have? God, I ask that they would share the Gospel more than I have. Please, ready their hearts, and may their eyes be forever upward, looking and waiting for your return. Help me to teach them and show them more than what I have. Help us to live with eternity in mind.

God, please, save my children. May they know you, each in the right time that you have for them. Save them from hell. I ask for repentance and following you by faith.

I trust you. I leave this in your hands. I trust you with my children. I ask that you answer everything that I have asked of you. I know that You hear me. I know that you, and only you, are good!

In the precious name of Jesus,

Amen
