Justin is one of my sons. He brings lot’s of joy to the Bosnick family. I have been reflecting on a prayer I have been praying from him and Benjamin for some time. I pray often they would grow strong and deep in their faith in Jesus. That a faith would develop in them that will cause them to turn nowhere except in the direction of the heavenly father.
I prayed these same words the other night but was aware of a subtile subtext going on as well. It may have been the spirit. I prayed the words above but I had a sense I was also praying, “Lord give my boys a tough life. One of struggle, pain and need so that they would experience your strength, your comfort and your provision.”
I had a brief sense that my idea of my boys growing deep in their faith in a comfortable way may not be the road ahead of them. Dare I say that my prayers are actually inhibiting the easy road for them. I wonder how they will respond later in life when the find out what I have prayed for them.
No comments yet, huh? Probably not a very popular prayer! But a very very good one.
