....As
a parent, you long for your child to be safe and healthy.
You labor to make sure that your child is protected physically.
Yet, you cannot always be with your child 24 hours a day.
There may be some things that you may have no power over.
The good news is that God can be with your child. He has power
over all things. Because of this, you can seek God for your
child's protection and healing. The Word of God declares,
"Casting all your care on Him for He cares for you"
(1 Peter 5:7). God wants you to pray about your child's
health and protection rather than being filled with anxiety,
fear, or a sense of helplessness. The following Scripture
prayers will enable you to pray concerning this issue of his
or her life.
