75. Joshua – Making supplications for our children

Parents are able to bless their children immensely through prayer. We started praying for both our children from their conception, through the pregnancies and throughout their growing up years. We made supplications to God as loving parents who desire the best for our children.
Through the prayer of supplication, we drew on His grace for every aspect of their lives. In addition, we also proclaimed the blessings of God’s Word upon them through the prayer of faith each night. God has blessed both our children, but let us share Ronnie’s testimony.
Ronnie used to be easily agitated and frustrated. He would scream instead of verbalize his frustrations. I had to hold him tight for a few seconds just to calm him down. Through supplication, he has grown into a steady boy, full of faith and tenderness for God. Today, he remains calm even when other children try to agitate him.
He was also a quiet and shy boy. Whenever we brought him out, he would always be holding on to us. We never had to run after him. Through supplication, he has grown to be confident and independent. At the age of 7, we sent him for an overnight camp and he enjoyed himself. He even took on child-modeling assignments for several magazines.
At one point, we were a little concerned as Ronnie was not very fluent and did not express himself very well. His teacher said that he had a tendency to swallow his words. We prayed, and through supplication, he is now a chatty and sociable boy. Ronnie was selected by his teacher to be a buddy-reading tutor to other students. Recently, his teacher even commended him for being good in public speaking!
We also had some concerns about Ronnie’s grasp of the Mandarin language, so we prayed in faith for the “mind of Christ to be upon him”. By the wisdom of God, he has shown tremendous improvement. In his recent final examinations, Ronnie scored close to full marks for his Mandarin and was also the overall top student in his class!
Our supplications to God and prayers of faith have impacted our children and changed their circumstances.
