Put on the all armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.13. Wherefore take unto you the all armour of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all to stand.
Becoming a mom was the best thing that happened to me, i remember my mom use to say children are blessings , ooh yeah i total agree with that, now that i have children of my own. But i tell you with what happens everyday in the world that we live in, i was constantly paranoid. Thinking of what might happen to them? but i was assured by my faith in God.
I remembered how my mother used bible verses to pray over us, i could hear her praying each morning for us and that was the beautiful thing, i had an assurance of God’s protection throughout the day.
So i adapted the tradition to my children and i can say there is no joy like knowing your children are in the hands of the Lord every time and everyday. It was easy to do so with the help of the scriptures from my Bible.
