Satan, the enemy of God and of every believer – has painted a target on our children. He knows that if He can hook them on bad things at a young age then he has greatly damaged their potential for the future. And of course, the ultimate goal of satan is to prevent children from every knowing (let alone hearing) about Jesus. To that end, the wretched devil has many predators in his arsenal that he uses to accomplish his diabolical plans. Drugs, Alcohol, sex before marriage, violence, physical, emotional, sexual abuse. These are the predators and these are the things we need to pray against when praying for our children.

From the Word:

Matthew 18:6

Prayer Points:

• Pray for protection for our children against these predators.
• Pray that for children who are being affected by these predators that they will be set free from that control.
• Pray that we will help and recognize ways we can assist while we’re there.
