I'm with you. I also pray for the children of this world and for their protection from those negative influences that we, as parents, can't control. That God will blind their eyes to those things that they shouldn't see, give deaf ears to those things that they shouldn't hear, and hold their tongues from those things they shouldn't say. I bought a funny movie that I remember watching once a while ago and while my two sons and I were watching it, two men kissed. I was so furious, shocked, and worried at the same time. I should've remembered that part, but I didn't because it was years ago that I saw it. My boys are still young and they are influential at their age. I took advantage of the moment and talked to them about what they saw and what is right and wrong. I immediately turned the movie off and returned that movie. We must try to control the influences we can. Before I went to bed, of course I prayed, but this prayer was lengthy. I felt so awful that my boys saw that, so I prayed that their spirit didn't recieve that. Not only in a movie can you see that, but walking down the street or in school it is seen. These negative influences are the ones we can't control.
