Single Parenting: Come Against Those Negative Words.

I became a single parent when my son was three years old. These were some challenging years for me.  The only thing that bought the two of us through was our faith in God.  Yes, I said "our" faith.  I raised my son in the Lord.  Every morning before he left the house, we prayed together.  Whenever anyone spoke a negative word about my son, I would firmly tell that person that it would not happen.  In my time of prayer, I would come against every negative word made in my presence and those made behind my back.  I made a point of praying the word of God over my son and teaching him how to pray for himself.

As my son became older, he made some mistakes, but I always relied on the word which says, "Train up a child the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it" (Proverbs 22:6).  No matter what state your children are in, continue to pray for them, even when it looks hopeless.  God is faithful.  Believe in His word.  Pray the scriptures over their lives.  Come against those negative words.  Most importantly, get your life aligned with God's agenda!  Cover your children with the word of God. 

My son is now 25 years old, a grown man!  I still pray over his life!  He has returned to the Lord.  God is faithful and His word is true.  IT IS NEVER TOO LATE!
