Happy Mother's Day to the Moms!

Hope you're blessed, amped, stoked and encouraged in the Lord today -- here's a good article for ya. Cathe Laurie wrote it regarding mothers and she knows gobs more about that.. (click here).

It's called, "When Your Children Are Hostile to Your Faith, Keep Praying."

"Moms, if you are weary and about to give up, don’t. Though it may be a long wait and it may seem like God is not at work, know that he is.

There is a heartfelt poem written by Ruth Graham in her book Prodigals and Those Who Love Them for her once wayward son, Franklin. I pray it will inspire you not to lose heart when it comes to your children:

“‘Lord, with my Jacob,’ I would pray, ‘wrestle till the break of Day’; till he, knowing who Thou art, tho’ asked, will not let Thee depart; saying, ‘I’ll not let Thee freesaving Thou wilt first bless me;’ O God of Jacob, who knew how to change supplanters then, so now deal, I pray, with this my son, though he may limp when Thou art done.”

My wife Liney has always been such a great mother. She still ministers to children every month at Prestonwood and she has helped me be a better father over the years too. She prays a whole lot, and God answers her. Even today we together prayed and saw an answer come in from the Lord. Thanks Jesus!

Happy Mother’s Day! In Jesus' name.. I pray you will be comforted, guided, empowered, and encouraged today as you simply trust God with your family. Sure, as you pray for your grown up and not so grown up children’s salvation etc. Yes, for their very lives. Our sovereign God doesn't make people do or not do anything. A lot's at stake and we can pray. Even major in this Fish4souls.org

All through the day, evening or night.. the mothers can, the fathers can, and the kids can too. You and I can pray through it all. No matter the location, body position, or age. Families and friends can pray together!
