Ellen Gould White
What does Ellen White write about...
Ellen Gould White über: "Should we also pray for the armor of God for our children?"
Answer
It is an important mission work and privilege to pray for the youth and children, as they are the special target of Satan’s attacks. Parents and believers should earnestly ask for divine wisdom and the protection of the children, so that they receive the strength to resist temptation. Prayer for others expressly includes the request that they put on the “whole armor of God” in order to stand against the devil’s schemes.
Prayer for the Protection of Youth
»Why should the work for youth in our borders not be regarded as the highest form of missionary work? It requires the finest tact, the most vigilant consideration, and the most earnest prayer for heavenly wisdom. The young are the target of Satan’s special attacks; but kindness, courtesy, and the compassion that flows from a heart filled with love for Jesus will win their trust and protect them from many of the enemy’s pitfalls.«
Intercessions for the Armor of God
»We have told them, Lord, that we would pray for them; and now we bring our petitions before you for them and pray that you may help them put on the whole armor of God. Take them into your care, Lord, and prepare them on this day for service.«
The Parental Duty and the Children’s Fight
»In the present situation of society, it is not an easy task for parents to restrain their children and teach them according to the biblical standard of righteousness. ... Children who follow Christ have a battle ahead of them. They must bear a cross daily, as they come out of the world, are set apart, and imitate the life of Christ.«
Constant Watching and Praying for All Saints
»The Lord tells us through Paul how we can arm ourselves against Satan and his agents: “...Put on the whole armor of God, so that you may stand against the devil’s schemes. ... and pray at all times with every prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watch with all perseverance and intercession for all the saints.”«
