Pray For Our Men

"When you help the Hebrew women in childbirth and observe them on the delivery stool, if it is a boy, kill him; but if it is a girl, let her live."
Exodus 1:16

Ever since God told Satan, 'I will put enmity between thee and the woman...her seed...shall bruise thy head' (Genesis 3:15), the enemy's been hell-bent on destroying men in every possible way. Males suffer more crib deaths, are more prone to heart attacks, and have shorter life spans. It is no coincidence that when a country is under attack, its enemies go after the men. By killing them, they destroy one of the stabilities of the family and ultimately the future of the nation.

Many grown men are still hurting and angry over things that happened in their childhood. Now as fathers they struggle to fulfill a role they never saw modeled in their own lives. It stops them from connecting with their children and perpetuates the cycle of alienation from generation to generation.

Any time Satan sees potential he will try to abort it; he cannot afford to wait until it is fully developed. In Exodus, Pharaoh told the Hebrew midwives, 'When you see them on the birth stool, if it is a boy, kill him' (Exodus 1:16). This word 'stool' is the same word that is used to describe a potter's wheel. So it is the process of becoming a man that the enemy wants to short-circuit! If Satan can destroy you while you are still on the wheel, he has accomplished his goal. Once you are fully-grown and mature, it will be much harder to intimidate and destroy you. So, pray for the men in your life!

Prayer
Heavenly Father, help me support and lift up men so they can be the fathers you called them to be. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
