Thanks for blessing me with the chance to bless and minister to others. I have had a rare privilege to teach and instruct many children over the years in prayer and in Your Word, Lord Jesus. I still love teaching children, and I thank you for the current class I have.
I pray you bless each one as they grow. Bless even the ones who have grown up now, yet have chosen to ignore me. Bless those ones who have unfriended/blocked me on social media. They may block me, but they sure can't block you Lord. They also cannot block my prayers for them. I always pray for their best and for their health and for their blessing. I pray they will have a heart for you, even if they no longer want me in their life. I served my purpose.
And Lord you alone know why they distance themselves from their childhood mentor and pastor. But I actually am grateful to be blocked. And the reason is, because now I identify more closely with you Lord Jesus. You were abandoned, and denied by your closest companions. It must've been painful. It must've stung. I understand that a little better now. And yet, I am no victim. Just like You Lord, I am an overcomer! I follow You all the way!
SO I say BLESS the blockers oh Lord, In Jesus' Mighty Name. They can't block my prayers for them. You are an unstoppable God. You are the One and Only God.
They are just starting out as adults, and they are trying to find their way. Some have gone away to learn new things. Bless their endeavours.
I pray you guide their path even when they do not realize you are doing so. And when they do return back this way, may they sense the immense love of God, by Your Holy Spirit. My time in their life may be finished, or it may be limited. But Your time in their lives is just beginning. You ARE their LIFE, whether they understand that or not. May they remember and recall the old days, their times in my Sunday School class, learning to pray to Jesus, and learning to read His Word. May they recall the excellent Christian teachings and upbringing of their own parents.
The pain is not greater than the love I feel. That love comes from God. And I willingly forgive any pain these young ones caused. I was surely surprised by the direction that pain came from, but I willingly forgive and let go.
I am sure I have unwittingly caused You grief at times too, Father. I ask you forgive me also.
May these young ones (who are now young adults) be bound to the MIND and the WILL of the Father, In Jesus Christ. May they be protected from evil and temptation. Glory to You, Father, for you are WORTHY to be PRAISED.
In Jesus Name, Amen!
