February 4 marks one of the most momentous days of my life. It’s the day I became a mother.
Even though my son is now a grown man, I still remember the enormous joy, the weighty responsibility, and the overwhelming love that poured from every pore of my body when they laid that bundle of sweetness on my chest.
That was many years ago and now he is grown man.
Watching a child become an adult is a sacred and sometimes daunting journey filled with victories and defeats, celebrations and setbacks, “I’m so proud of you” moments and “I can’t believe you did that” moments. Can you relate?
No matter where you are in the parenting journey, one thing never changes: we pray. We stand in the gap. And if you’re not a mom, there are so many others that need your prayers.
To “stand in the gap” means to step into a breach to defend, protect, or advocate for someone who is vulnerable. In ancient times, soldiers would position themselves in weak spots in a city wall, placing their own bodies between danger and those they loved.
In Ezekiel 22:30, God said,
“I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one.”
As prayer warriors, we can stand in the gap for those we love. Picture a protective wall surrounding your child or the one you love. Now imagine a hole or gap in that wall—a place of weakness, temptation, fear, confusion, or pain. Through intercessory prayer, we step into that gap and ask God to do what only He can do.
I remember when Steven was a teenager and there were days I thought I might pull my hair out. (Did I just say that out loud?) During one particularly challenging season, someone gave me a poem by Shirley Pope Waite. Its message was simple but powerful: never give up, never give in, and never stop praying.
Our greatest influence in someone’s life may be what happens on our knees.
If you have young children, this is for you.
If you have adult children, this is for you.
If you have grandchildren, this is for you.
If you have nieces or nephews, change a few words and this is for you too.
Most of all, if there is someone you love and long to see God work in their life, this is for you.
I’ll Stand in the Gap
by Shirley Pope Waite
I’ll stand in the gap for my son.
I’ll stand ‘till the victory’s won.
This one thing I know
That You love Him so,
And my work with my child is not done.
I’ll stand in the gap every day,
And there I will fervently pray;
And Lord just one favor
Don’t let me waver
If things get rough, which they may.
I’ll never give up on that boy.
Nor will You, for You promised him joy.
For I know it was true
When he said, “Yes” to You,
Though the enemy seeks to destroy.
I’ll never quit as I intercede
For You are His Savior indeed!
Though it may take years,
I give You my fears,
As I trust every moment I plead.
And so in the gap I will stand,
Heeding Your every command.
With help from above
I’ll unconditionally love,
And soon He will reach for Your hand.
I hope this blesses you today. Print it out. Keep it close.
Let’s pray for each other. Leave the name of someone you’re standing in the gap for today in the comments. Then pray for the name before yours.
Digging Deeper
One of the most important things we can do as believers is pray. And yet, for most of us, it is one of the most difficult. We don’t know what to pray. We get distracted. We can feel like no one’s listening.
Here’s what I’ve found: when you don’t know what to pray, pray the Word of God. When you pray the Word of God, you pray the Will of God.
That’s why I wrote these two books and several prayer cards. Praying for Your Husband from Head to Toe and Praying for Your Child from Head to Toe are both 30-Day Powerful and Effective Scripture-Based Prayer resources. And they make wonderful gifts!!! Click here to check them out and learn more.

My son Jake that the Holy Spirit stirs his heart to the acceptance that Christ is the one and only true Savior.
Praying as we stand in the gap for our daughter Madison who left us recently with no goodbyes, cut contact, living what she believes is her best life amongst a group of individuals who profess to be Christians (cultist controlling group) over 2,000 miles away. It is hard to know what to pray some days. The verse that talks about the Holy Spirit uttering groanings for us when we are struggling with prayer comes to mind often. We know God is working in this situation. We brought her up knowing Him and the right way to live. Now, we are having to throw all our emotions, trust, hope, faith, desires, merciful pleas on God because He can handle them…take care of them, oversee this entire situation, and restore our family as a whole unit in His perfect timing. Until then, we must stand in that gap so we are vicious daily prayer warriors guarding against the darts of the enemy. God is the Victor in the end!

We grew up in a Christian home but after college she spent time in Israel, eventually married a Jewish man and converted, but then reverted to Buddhism.

God would send messenger angels to her to remind her who He is and let her know how much He loves her. In the meantime, I will stand in the gap for my sister Kay.

For my daughter who is living in lesbian lifestyle, as a young child she professed faith in Jesus but walked away from Him
I’m standing in the gap for my son Jax-Miller. He’s so precious to me🩷 He’s only 7 years old and just started second grade! He struggles with his identity already at such a young age and it tears me up inside. He says he wants to be a girl 🥺
I try to encourage him and reassure him of his identity in Christ and that he makes no mistakes! I pray that this too shall pass🙏🏽 He’s just recently started pulling his hair out by the root unconsciously to the point of having a bald spot 😩
This is very new & he says he doesn’t even realize he’s doing it and thinks it may be when he’s nervous or bored! Thank you in advance for your prayers as I join you all in praying for your families too🙏🏽 God bless each & every person reading this and love you all in Christ Jesus
For my so David who is struggling with depression and needing a miracle, was laid off from job so needs work..
I stand in the gap for my daughters and granddaughter who is cerebral palsy. Both daughters made a commitment to Christ but now nolonger walk His pathway. One daughter has mental health issues and the other is in a lesbian relationship. My granddaughter believes n Jesus but given no Christian encouragement or teaching. I pray Gid brings her through and provides her with a wonderful future. Amen
Standing in the gap and praying fervently for my adult daughter, Mia, to turn back to God as I believe evil had a stronghold over her, and my adult son, Braden to accept Jesus as his Savior. Both are very confused by the world.
I stand in the gap for my sons, Jordan and Seth, that they both find Jesus and give their lives over to him as their Lord and Savior, and rely on him to carry them through life,
