Bless the Children

SCRIPTURE

 

Luke 18: 15-17

15 One day some parents brought their little children to Jesus so he could touch and bless them. But when the disciples saw this, they scolded the parents for bothering him.

16 Then Jesus called for the children and said to the disciples, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children. 17 I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.”

 

 

PRAYER

 

Lord, there are some children hovering around ______’s life that he touches. You have given him a special gift that he employs to bless these children in wonderful ways Lord. Today I pray that you would give ______ a blessing because of that. Swell his heart with the satisfaction of knowing that he has made the same tender souls important that you made important. Help him to know that his touch in their lives is eternal and powerful. Give him a glimpse of the fruit of his blessing on their lives Lord. Honor him for honoring them. And I pray that you would give him a really big hug from one of those children, accompanied by a beaming smile that says, “I love you.” Amen.
