Day 6 in the 21 days of prayer for sons challenge

I mentioned before that I was joining up with my bloggy friend Brooke for her 21 days of prayer for sons challenge and it started last Friday.  I’m committing to pray for my boys 5 days a week from the scriptures that Brooke compiled in her e-book Warrior Prayers. 

(I had my e-book spiral bound and I love love love it!!)

Praying the actual scriptures for my boys is a new concept to me thanks to Brooke.  It’s a simple concept really, and I love how it’s keeping me in the Word (one of my steps to fight the battles going on in my life that I mentioned yesterday)

I’m so thankful for this challenge and it’s causing me to see my boys differently.  So far I’ve prayed for their obedience, submission to authority, integrity, avoiding foolishness, pride, and purity.  I’m finding these prayers are appropriate to pray for myself and Jason as we walk in our faith as well.

The actual challenge involves 10 verses on each topic every day to pray over your boys.  I’ve been tweaking my morning routine this last week and I think I’ve found something that works.  When I get up (not nearly as early as I wanted to be, but we’re working on it), I’m having my quiet time with the Lord.  During my prayer time for the boys, I’ve decided to write the prayers out in a moleskine notebook so I can keep them with me every day and refer to them throughout the day. I’m kind of hoping this attitude of prayer becomes a way of life for me and that these prayers don’t just stay with me for 21 days.

(I have a slight addiction to these little moleskine notebooks and am using them for nearly everything!!).

So there you have it, that is how this prayer challenge is going for me.  I love it, I love how it’s changing my attitude and I love how it’s changing my heart for my boys!!!

Are you participating in the #21days4sons?  How are you using the prayers and ebook?

 

I’m linking this up with the other amazing mom’s and dad’s that are also praying for their sons at Brooke’s blog today.  Please hop on over…she’s giving away a book!!
