Praying the Psalms over our kids: The key to living in the shadows

“Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.” Psalm 91:1

We have a negative connotation around the idea of living in the shadows. We want to avoid raising kids in the shadows because it feels unknown, overlooked, or even worse: insignificant. Yet so often what the world calls “successful” is not God’s definition of success. And living with platform and worldly significance comes at a cost we often fail to consider. 

This week we’re praying Psalm 91 over our kids, and asking God to reveal the beauty of shadow living—but only when it’s in the shadow of the Almighty. In this shadow is where we find  God’s love and protection. In his shadow is where we find a nearness to God not present anywhere else, simply due to the sheer proximity required to walk in God’s shadow.

This is our last week of 2022 to pray over our kids. Please don't miss it.
