We have all heard that one of the most powerful things we can do for our kids is pray scripture over them. I have the best intentions to do this, but let’s face it… sometimes life gets in the way and I am not as consistent as I would like to be. I want to share a tool that has helped me be more intentional about this.
“I believe the greatest influence a mom can have in the life of her child is through prayer. As she stands in the gap for her beloved child, the Sovereign Lord of heaven and earth hears and answers her prayers . . . One of the most powerful [prayer] principles is Scripture praying. When we pray the promises of God for our children, our faith increases because we are praying back the very words of God.” -Fern Nichols
Last summer, I decided to pick a verse to pray specifically for both of my kids. I prayed and asked God to direct me to the verse that was meant for them. Once I found the verse, I painted a canvas with the Scripture and hung it in their bedrooms. Now, each time I look at these special paintings, I say a prayer for my child. My kids love them because they are reminded that God has a plan for them and that their mom is praying specifically for them.
A lovely woman recently contacted me about paintings for her two little ones and I realized how much I love doing this type of artwork! My prayer is that this gift of Scripture will be with them forever. Not just in their childhood room, but as they go to college and eventually to their own homes, I hope that it will serve as a constant reminder of the faithfulness and love that is always with them.
Is there someone special you would like to bless in this way? You can fill out this form right now and we can get started. It’s ok if you don’t know exactly what you want, that is why I’m here! Let’s chat about it and see what we can come up with. Don’t wait to get on my list though, it is first come, first serve 😉
