Prayer for special people
on their special days brings God’s input into their lives. Our “best wishes” actually turn into divine
influence, divine favor, and divine blessings—when we pray.
As
I read this chapter, I was challenged to pray about the Special Times for my
family. Special Times like: Birthday Prayers, Birthday Celebrations, Jesus’
Birthday, First Grandmothering Christmas (the first Christmas when you become a
Grandmother), Thanksgiving Day Prayers, and Wedding Praying.
It
was so touching to hear the stories of several of Evelyn’s children as they
wrote about their Special Times.
For
the past ten years I have started the New Year praying for God to lead me to a
Bible verse for myself and each family member.
The verse becomes their key verse for the year. I pray this verse for them and then watch God
use the verse in their lives.
There
is power in prayer, but I need to use it daily.
There are so many reasons why I should pray, but the very last chapter
in this book talks about the Supernatural Reason for Prayer.
Quote from the book What Happens When We Pray For Our Families.
Evelyn, page 189
THE ONLY REASON families need
prayer is because there is a supernatural battle raging on earth, and human resources,
wisdom, and power are not sufficient to win in this battle.
Next
week we will go through the last chapter in this wonderful book. Be sure to join me.
Dear
God,
Please
help me to find the time this week to pray about the Special Times in my
children’s lives. I know there is power
in prayer and I want to try and be more specific in my prayers for them. Thank you for what you are going to do. In Jesus
Name, Amen.
(I
have my oldest son David and his wife Stacy and our twin Grand-Daughters
staying with us right now, so I will write more about this next week.
Blessings
to your Day!
