take. I once knew a guy who began setting aside $100 a month
for his children when he was in his mid-twenties—and he
didn’t even marry until he was in his early thirties! He was
preparing a nest of security in advance for his child to be born
into. Prayer allows you to do the same thing in the spiritual
realm, to prepare an environment of spiritual security and the
first stirring of a family legacy before your child is even stirring
in the womb. Can you imagine what a gift it could be, years
from now, for your children to see your handwritten, fervent
prayers for them before they even took their first breath?
The family is one of the key axis points of God’s purposes
on earth. And your family, at the point of your sphere of
influence, is a major component of what He is doing right here
where you live. In order to make sure you’re fully cooperating
with Him and with the enormous opportunity embodied in your
family structure and its people, they need you to not be on
their backs, not be up in their faces, but be down on your
knees.
