Morning Manna

"Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth." -- Psalm 127:4 ESV

Abba, our daughter's are arrows in our hands. I pray that You would help us to sharpen our aim. Teach us their individual targets.

Wield the point of their arrowheads to be incredibly sharp...to strike their purpose and stay there. Strengthen their shafts that they may not bend under pressure. Settle the notch into place that they may rest tautly against the string. Use the wind of Your Holy Spirit to direct the aerodynamics of their flight. And as they are released, may my husband and I have the privilege to remain as fletchings for stability and direction.

Jesus, our desire is that our children hit their mark and make a mark. Our desire is that they make an impact on this world for Your Kingdom.

Use both the pride and the pain of an arrowhead in the hand to train us - their parents - to be skillful, careful, and purposeful.

Being aware that the time is short, may we hear Your Voice and follow Your lead when the time is right to release.
