The pains and challenges of parenthood are as old as man himself. The first murder recorded in the bible was between siblings. Adam’s son, Cain, killed his own brother. I cannot even imagine the pain that this act brought to the parents. On the day when God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son to him it is hard to say I know how Abraham felt like, for it would be better if my child dies as a result of any other means, but when God demands that my hand should become the cause of his death, I imagine the pain within my heart. A man of God, Eli had two sons who were not even afraid of God himself. They died in battle and Eli in his old age sat there by the side of the road when the news ware brought to him. The Bible tells us that he fell and died on the spot as his neck broke. Then much later in history God too, had to give His only son to become a sacrifice to the world. We love our children, we wish the best for them. Sometimes we fight with them and wish that we never had them. But they are ours, given to us by God for a purpose only He knows.

And one day when His purpose for their lives has prevailed, we shall appreciate every confession, every prayer, every good wish and every Godly desire we had for our kids. I constantly make confessions for my children. And here they are not in any particular order. Try them, make them all in one day or make them one per day, after all they are all from a parent’s heart and they were meant for good. Be blessed.
