Rescuing Kids Gone Bad

[Tim R. Temple]

This is every parent's nightmare.  Suddenly their children start acting rebellious and their clothes shriek rebellion.

Here's a prayer I made up, to use on behalf of your children regularly. Your children are under special attack when they are most impressionable, most vulnerable and have most of their lives ahead of them. This is just as valid for a one year-old as a twenty year-old.

This prayer has been used many times with great results, even after years of rebellion.  This prayer also prevents things from starting.

Pray thus:

"For these children, their friends and their social contacts.
For all their families, properties and environments.
For anyone who would work or conspire to influence or harm them.
By the authority of Jesus we command any unclean spirits to leave all these people and things.
Heavenly Father, we ask you to bless all these people with your presence and truth. We ask you to bring them to salvation and sanctification.

May these children be blessed in all they undertake. May they be blessed with food, clothes, shelter and protection from the Evil one and his allies. May they grow in wisdom and respect before God and their peers. May they be protected from sickness, from physical harm, from seduction, from verbal assault and from accidents. May they grow in faith, hope, love and obedience. May they be known as Oaks of Righteousness and Love.

AMEN."
