Knowing Him Daily

22.March.2026

There is a place in prayer that goes beyond requesting or asking. It is the place where you plant your feet, open your hands, and say, I am not moving until something shifts. It is the place of standing in the gap.

Ezekiel 22:30 says, “So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land.” God was looking for someone willing to stand between what was and what could be. As parents, that is exactly where we are called to position ourselves, between our children and the enemy, between where they are and where God has promised they can be.

This is not about geography. It does not matter if your child is under your roof or across the country. It does not matter if they are talking to you or not. Covenant authority does not depend on proximity. It depends on relationship, your relationship with God and the covenant He has already established with you over your family.

Acts 2:39 makes that covenant plain: “For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.” That promise was not a suggestion, nor was it a possibility. It was a declaration. Your children are included in what God is doing, and no distance, no silence, no season of wandering changes what He has already spoken.

Acts 16:31 echoes it: “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.” That word household is not accidental. God sees your family as a unit, even when it does not look like one right now.

Here is what I want to communicate: your children are spirit beings first, just like you and just like God. Before they are adults making their own choices, before they are the sum of their mistakes or yours, before any label the world or the enemy has tried to put on them, they are spirit beings created by God, known by God, and not beyond the reach of God. You are not standing for a lost cause. You are standing for a person God already loves more than you do, and that is saying something.

Deuteronomy 7:9 calls Him “the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations.” A thousand generations. Your standing matters. Your prayers matter. The gap you fill today is part of something far greater than what you can see.

You may not feel powerful when you pray. You may feel tired, uncertain, or like the words are just hitting the ceiling. (they are not by the way) Stand anyway. The authority you carry as a parent in covenant with God does not rise and fall with your feelings. It stands on what He said, and He said your children are included.

So take your place. Plant your feet. Open your hands. You are not standing alone.

Make today count and see you tomorrow.
