Blessing your baby!!!!

2013 has been a year of blessing, got promotion @ work and personally got the best promotion of all -Father to Joanna. From the day we came to know of Joanna being conceived , all through the pregnancy we kept of praying for her.One of the things which I did was to look out for verses in Bible which talks about kids & blessing of children. At times I read out all these verses in faith, just compiled a list hope this will be useful for you too.

Blessing for your Baby!!

 1 Samuel 1:27–28

 "I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him. So now I give him to the LORD. For his whole life he will be given over to the LORD."

Jeremiah 1:5

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations."

Luke 2:40

"And the Child continued to grow and become strong, increasing in wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him."

Psalm 127:3

"Behold, children are a gift of the LORD; The fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one's youth. How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them;"


  Isaiah 8:18

Behold, I and the children whom the Lord has given me are signs and portents in Israel from the Lord of hosts, who dwells on Mount Zion.  

HE will sprinkle clean water on you

This particular verse really touched me, you fight against sin daily and one get so used to falling deep in it and feels that is fine and no hope to get out of it. Everybody will have their own personal demons to fight with, I have my own share of them and often felt there is no way to get out of it.I try to raise and then fall, like a pig returning to its mud.

These Bible verses really touched me and gave me hope.

Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. I will cleanse you from all your uncleanness and your idols.  Also, I will teach you to respect me completely, and I will put a new way of thinking inside you. I will take out the stubborn hearts of stone from your bodies, and I will give you obedient hearts of flesh.  I will put my Spirit inside you and help you live by my rules and carefully obey my laws. "

Ezekiel 36:25- 27

Father teach me to respect you completely,give me a obedient heart and put your spirit inside me, Lord I yearn to live by Your will but I am powerless without your grace to get over the uncleanliness in me.

Hosea 4-My people are destroyed for lack of Knowledge

Hear the word of the Lord, you Israelites,
    because the Lord has a charge to bring
    against you who live in the land:
“There is no faithfulness, no love,
    no acknowledgment of God in the land.
² There is only cursing,lying and murder,
    stealing and adultery;
they break all bounds,
    and bloodshed follows bloodshed.
³ Because of this the land dries up,
    and all who live in it waste away;
the beasts of the field, the birds in the sky
    and the fish in the sea are swept away.
⁶     my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.

Lamentations 3-The Mercies of the Lord, new every morning

4 He has made my skin and my flesh grow old
    and has broken my bones.
⁵ He has besieged me and surrounded me
    with bitterness and hardship.
⁶ He has made me dwell in darkness
    like those long dead. 

¹⁹ I remember my affliction and my wandering,
    the bitterness and the gall.
²⁰ I well remember them,
    and my soul is downcast within me.
²¹ Yet this I call to mind
    and therefore I have hope:

²² Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
    for his compassions never fail.
²³ They are new every morning;
    great is your faithfulness.
²⁴ I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;
    therefore I will wait for him.”

²⁵ The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him,
    to the one who seeks him;
²⁶ it is good to wait quietly
    for the salvation of the Lord.
²⁷ It is good for a man to bear the yoke
    while he is young.

Jeremiah 31

3. The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying:

“I have loved you with an everlasting love;
    I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.
⁴ I will build you up again,
    and you, Virgin Israel, will be rebuilt.
Again you will take up your timbrels
    and go out to dance with the joyful.
⁵ Again you will plant vineyards
    on the hills of Samaria;
the farmers will plant them
    and enjoy their fruit.
⁶ There will be a day when watchmen cry out
    on the hills of Ephraim,
‘Come, let us go up to Zion,
    to the Lord our God.’”
