But the authority in this situation belongs to Mom or Dad, or adopted parents &#8211; whoever is in charge. Praying according to the Word means actually knowing and believing what the Word says. So go to the Bible for the answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Promise One<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A great scripture is this: Proverbs 11:21 \u2013 The seed of the righteous shall be delivered. That sounds so quaint \u2013the seed. Simply put, that is the offspring. Your children are your seed. No matter how far they stray \u2013 they can me living in Nepal; they are still your seed. Deliverance covers much ground &#8211; not merely salvation but also protection and provision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Life is dangerous and they need a covering to protect them from evil influences. 45 million kids are inside the sex trafficking system world wide. Prays of protection keep them safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you righteous? Hopefully so, because now you have a platform on which to launch your prayers. A rather confusing prayer starts this way, \u201cLord I know I am a rotten sinner, but please deliver my kids.\u201d Yes, God hears that, but how much better to ask God to save you from being rotten first and then praying for your kids?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">God hears parents<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nevertheless, a parent\u2019s cry God always hears. Years ago the father of a mutual friend was torn up because his 30 year old daughter had cancer. His prayers for her healing were heart-wrenching, and God heard.  Keep in mind that God was a parent too. Today, 30 years later, I have no memory that the father ever lived a Christian life. But God still heard and the girl was cured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Eliminate fear and Unbelief<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll not get anywhere praying with worry, fear or unbelief. All situations should be viewed as an opportunity for God to guide, correct, teach, etc.<br>Are you not seeking God because you think He will fail?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And you are not to pray saying, &#8220;I can\u2019t pray because what if I fail?&#8221; You are not the healer, the deliverer, or the savior, so delete that thought from your mind. You are praying to God not to yourself. God can&#8217;t fail. So you cannot fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Promise Two<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Job 1:10 \u2013 This is a very effective prayer for when we are separated. You \u201cpray a hedge\u201d around the person you are concerned for.&nbsp; This hedge is made of thorns and when you put it around someone it helps keep bad influences away from someone. If the person is involved in the occult, with drugs, prostitution etc., that hedge should form a barricade against the contacts and the customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Promise Three<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When I have been frustrated in a situation, especially when I\u2019m unclear about the facts, I simply send angels. \u201cPlease God rush angels to the situation and have them act as you see fit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And how does this work? By faith of course. If you think your faith is weak go back to the Bible and get a new dose of juice. Faith comes by hearing and that by the Word Of God.&nbsp; In fact, you can read it out loud to yourself and see if your faith does not increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, one or two bullet prayers is nice, but pray often and then again.&nbsp; God likes to know you are still on the case, and so is He.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you enjoy these articles please subscribe and then honor us with comments.\u00a0 We provide Think Pieces for a public on the brink of mammoth changes and we need all hands-on deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a9CorneliaScottCree.com.
