For He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways. Psalm 91:11

 Our children are God’s blessings, some make life easy, while others can keep us in a constant state of prayer. My youngest child fits the one that keeps me constantly praying. From a youngster up until today, as a young adult, he has always lived an independent life, many times living on the edge. Although he is like me is some ways, he is also braver and fearless when it comes to most things. Thus, I make it a point to keep him covered in my daily prayers.

 And this is why I keep praying for him….On the day of Thanksgiving, I texted him to see how his duck hunting trip in Missouri was going, no response. Then late afternoon I got a text saying he’s had the wildest 24 hours of his life, my heart about stopped. He called me later to tell me he had a tire blow out on his truck on the way up there Wednesday, got food poisoning, had to wait 4 hours in the parking lot, sick as a dog, before getting a hotel room, his boat motor went haywire while out on the lake on Thanksgiving, had to call 911 to have a state patrolman tow him in and had to wait 4 hours in the cold for his help to arrive. Anyhow, it was a long two days, yet when we talked he was headed a few hours north to meet up with his buddies to duck hunt at another location. God help him please!!!

 Maybe you have a child that brings you to your knees in prayer on a frequent basis. Look at it this way, it’s not a bad thing, although your anxiety is high, God watches over them and will give them His best protection, while you continue to summon for God’s help. Rest easy moms and dads, I can assure you God is faithful as my son is nearing 28 and still enjoying life to its fullest. Don’t forget to thank God for watching over them and recall the times when He worked a miracle of protection on your behalf. God is faithful! Pray often!
