Let's Speak Well- So We'll See Well!

 I was looking for another picture today and came across this one (and no, I absolutely did not sob when I found it!). It's important to keep these images of our babies in front of us so that we'll speak the right things.

        Brelyn has such a great life ahead of her. She knows our Father's voice and leading and she'll never stray from it. She'll not be deceived by any trick of the enemy- God has directed her path and she'll walk in it, and live out the number of her days happy and full of life!

        No weapon will prosper against her.

        Speaking over Brelyn like this creates an inner image on the inside of me and that image causes faith for her to grow. I water that seed of faith by continuing to speak well and give thanks to God for all He's doing in her life.

        I have to protect that seed of faith with my words. On hard days, I can't go around complaining about Brelyn to my buds and Jay- not because God will be mad at me or any foolishness like that- but because I have to protect my inner image of Brelyn thriving. 

        "Father God, on this Tuesday, we ask for wisdom to parent our children well. We ask for insight into the small things that may be tripping them up today. We ask you, Father, to remove any wrong influences from their lives, in-person or online, and we ask for you to bring in the right relationships for them to do life with in this very season. No matter their ages, we recognize the power of relationships and influences. We ask you for the right ones to enter their lives right on time- we trust you with our babies. In Jesus' name, Amen".

        

 Now, let's spend some time today as we're going throughout our day seeing our babies thriving. No matter what we see in the natural today, let's spend time seeing them thriving and in the right relationships.

When we see them this way, we speak to them differently and they begin to sense what we're seeing inside, and they will rise to that inner image we have of them.

        Whew! I'm encouraged today sweet friends, and I pray you are too.

        Let's speak well- so we'll see well!
