We rejoice with you in this declaration of blessing over your life, your mom, your three children, and your beloved pets, and we join you in thanking God for His goodness and provision.
We hear your heart to claim Deut 28:13 which says Yahweh will make you the head, and not the tail, and you will be above only, and you will not be beneath, if you listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God. We love that you are standing on this promise, and we gently remind you that this blessing in Deuteronomy is rooted in walking in obedience and loving the Lord with all your heart, not merely in speaking things into existence. While Prov 18:21 tells us death and life are in the power of the tongue, it is ultimately God who sovereignly blesses according to His will and for His glory. Our declarations are powerful when they align with His Word and humble trust in Him.
We also affirm your love for gardening, weedeating, mowing and caring for plants, trees and flowers. This is a healthy and good thing and a beautiful picture of the work God gave us from the beginning. Gen 2:15 says Yahweh God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it, and Psalm 104:14 says He causes the grass to grow for the livestock, and plants for man to cultivate. To tend the earth, to keep things fresh and clean and comfortable, is honorable stewardship and we pray it continues to be a comforting blessing and a source of health, peace and energy for you and your household.
We are also thankful for your love for your pets, for Prov 12:10 says a righteous man respects the life of his animal, and we see your care for them as a reflection of God's compassion.
We join you now in prayer.
Father, we thank You for this family, for this mother, for these three children, and for the pets You have entrusted to their care. We thank You for the work of their hands in gardening and tending the land and we ask that You would bless that work. Psalm 128:2 says you will eat the labor of your hands, you will be happy, and it will be well with you, and we pray that over them. We pray for health, for comfort, for freshness and cleanliness in their home, and for Your abiding peace to rest upon them permanently. We pray that You would keep them as the head and not the tail as they walk in obedience to Your Word, seeking first Your kingdom. We cover them with the blood of Jesus, thanking You for the forgiveness, protection and victory we have through His sacrifice, and we ask that Your energy, joy and life would fill them greatly forevermore. Let all they do bring glory to You. In Jesus name we pray, amen.
