What’s your prayer for the children in your life?
- That they’ll be happy and healthy
- Success in school
- That they’ll stay out of trouble
How about these?
Love the Lord — heart, soul, mind and strength, and their neighbors as themselves
(Mark 12:30-31)
Be filled with the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control
(Galatians 5:22-23)
Seek first the kingdom of God
(Matthew 6:33)
Use their spiritual gifts to build up the Church
(Ephesians 4:12)
Please pray for me, friend. I’m in trouble. Pain uncontrollable.
Please call in the clans. Lots of prayers need now.
Lord God, may my friend inhale you and exhale the hurt, may his heart pump hope throughout his body, may his mind be fixed on you. Amen.
Many thanks. The immediate crisis passed, but a lot of ground is lost. Things look kind of bleak at the moment.
Ah, well. Could be worse. I could be slow, soft and ugly. 😀
