I could allow these dreams to fill me with fear. But I have banished fear from my life & I won't give it a foothold again. Instead, I will take these dreams as a sign that now, more than ever, I need to pray for my children.
Actually I believe that all parents are being called to action in praying over their children. The enemy wants nothing more than to prevent us from raising this generation to honor God. And, so we need to all the more firmly stand our ground & cover our children in fervent prayer.
Here are two verses I was reading this morning. They were Paul's prayers for the Colossians and the Philippians. But, I am claiming them today as prayers for my children.
" For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way; bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so you may have great endurance and patience."
Philippians 1:9
"And this is my prayer; that you love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ - to the glory and praise of God."
In addition we can be reassured of God's faithfulness in protecting & strengthening our children......
2 Thessalonians 3:3
"But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen and protect you from the evil one."
Deuteronomy 31:6
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you or forsake you."
