WOW! It has been a long time since I have posted! We're just really busy, I guess. A little update on Rachel: she gets her casts off this Thursday! She is so excited and lists all the things she'll do when the casts come off: walk, march, dance, run, use the potty... For a two year old, that girl has BIG plans!!
(Now onto the post...)
I was reminded at church last night about prayer. We have been going through the Lord's Prayer, found in Matthew 6.
I have prayed and continue to pray, first of all, for my children's salvation. I want them to know and have a personal relationship with Jesus. That is the most important thing.
Secondly, I pray for their safety: physically, emotionally, spiritually. I know that the Bible says that the Angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him (Psalm 34). You better believe that I welcome that angel!! I also pray for a hedge of protection around them. I pray that they would be kept from evil (intentional) and harm (accidental). I also pray that Satan would be blinded where they are concerned.
I pray for my children's future spouses. I pray that God would save them at a young age, that they would love and serve God. I pray that God would keep them from so much of the garbage in this world. I pray for their protection as well.
These are the main ways I pray for my kids. I mention their names often to God.
Looking toward resurrection
