God Bless My Child with Provision

“So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field how they grow: they neither toil or spin; and yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.” (Matthew 6:28)

 “For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added to you.” (Matthew 6:32-33)

 Father, thank you for Your promise of provision. I am cared for!  I am grateful that You walk before us delivering supplies to meet our needs.  Thank you that there will always be food to eat and nourishment for strength.  


Thank you that there will be warmth in my child’s home. Thank you for the clothes that he wears and for his continual covering as he grows from one size to the next.
 

I ask, even before he steps away from our home, to order his steps to places of provision. May his hands be blessed to produce wealth and create a home of plenty for his family.

 May he practice generosity to those that his life touches each day.

 I will teach him to respond from a grateful heart, keeping contentment as that constant characteristic which brings balance to a life.

 I will teach him to seek Your Kingdom and Your righteousness and to recognize this alone brings fulfillment for a lifetime.

 May there never be shortage but bounty.
 

May there never be less but more.

 Watch over his life as You do the lilies of the field. May he find the same rest as these flowers who fully trust You to care for their need of sun and rain.
 

Grant him drink in the desert place, give him food in a barren land.  From Your hand, Father, we find our supply with no lack in it!

 Thank you again for your promises to us, Your children!

 In Jesus’ Name---Amen
