The Syrophoenician Woman - Her Legacy Of Prayer

The Syrophoenician Woman - Her Legacy Of Prayer

Then Jesus answered, “Woman, you have great faith!Your request is granted.”

— Matthew 15:28

REFLECT ON:	Matthew 15:21 – 28.
PRAISE GOD:	For his power to deliver us from every form of evil.
OFFER THANKS:	For the deliverance you have already experienced.
CONFESS:	Any hopelessness about your children or others you love.
ASK GOD:	To give you the same “terrier-like” faith that the Syrophoenician woman had, so that you will never give up praying for the salvation of your loved ones.

Lift Your Heart

Though most of our children will never suffer from actual demonic possession, all of them are engaged, as we are, in a spiritual battle. As a mother, your prayers and your life play a role in the spiritual protection of your children. This week, pray Psalm 46 or Psalm 91 for the spiritual protection of your family. Or take a few moments to pray these verses from Psalm 125:1 – 2:

Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion,
which cannot be shaken but endures forever.

As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
so the LORD surrounds his people
both now and forevermore.

Imagine that every member of your family is surrounded by God, just as mountains surround the city of Jerusalem. Offer each one to him, placing them in his care. When you are worried about a particular family member, pray a quick prayer asking God to surround him or her with his protection.

Lord, surround my children like the mountains surrounding Jerusalem. Encircle our family with your power and peace. Deliver us from evil now and forever. Amen.
