Abba, I am grateful that You know and have invited me to come and talk. The seas we are compelled to navigate these days are treacherous and I cannot do it without You. I am grateful for the wisdom You have given me and I desire to use it to help others and I am certain that I need much more and I ask You to grant me more as You see fit. I am troubled this morning. I am troubled for babies, toddlers and children in particular. There is a war for their souls; and parents, more often than not, are nonchalant about it or blind altogether; please help. Please rescue the parents and the children. The war in particular that is burdening me today is sexual and the all out yet subtle attack of the world to enslave children and adults in homosexual and heterosexual sin in the name of ‘love’. I am sorry, Abba. Please forgive us and have mercy on us. Please send revival and an outpouring of conviction and repentance on us. Please open blinded eyes and deceived hearts for Your glory and our redemption I pray.

Praying for Mentors
I have been reading Prayers of Blessing Over Your Husband by Bruce Wilkinson and Heather Hair. I believe many of the prayers are applicable to others we love. May I offer you one (modified) today from the book for your spouse, for your children, for your grandchildren? Just call them by name and pray.
Gracious Lord, please surround my (_________ ) with mentors who will guide (him/her) in the ways of wisdom, right living, kindness, commitment, and a deep love for You and for this family. I pray that You bless (him/her) with like interests with these mentors and provide them with learning experiences that they can share together, as well as occasions of fun and fellowship. Help me to be willing to share emotions and time so he/she can develop and sustain relationships with these, and I pray that the richness of these relationships will overflow into our family and our home, In Christ’s name, amen.

Stretching
When our Little Ones start stretching, we feel the tightening and the pull; and when that stretching is sooner than expected, or sooner than provisions in hand – we hurt! We really hurt!
So let us pray.
Abba, we love _____ so much but we don’t like this stretching that he/she is doing right now. We don’t like the unkindness of failed responses; the pulling away with a bite instead of a kiss. It feels so wrong and we believe it is. And it’s this way, You either care or You don’t – I believe You do. You either love him/her more than we do, or You don’t – I believe You do. You will either intervene, go after and stay on him/her until they return, or You won’t – I believe You will. So we can either rest our comfort in You, or not – I am. In JESUS name I am. Thank You, Abba. Thank You.
The Cure
I saw a tweet. I saw a post. And to me both were inflammatory; yet, I think they were not meant to be. We the People are inflamed and we need no more fuel for the fire. Racism. It sells. It promotes. It hurts. It kills. And it is totally curable.
Abba, I pray for every person of every color and shade in this Country that is contributing to racism that You will confront them, convict them, and convince them to repent of this sin. It seems to me, and You know I want You to correct me every time I am wrong about anything, that racism has been with us too long. And it seems to me that what we humans have been doing is obviously not working to cool the flame. I see nothing on the human horizon that will douse the red hot tempers we witness nearly daily on media screens. But I have seen Your Ways and they work. Every time. You deliver people from racism. I have seen You do it. And it is so good! I want to see more. So I am asking You to make a way; open doors for us to do this thing Your way. This I know, Abba, You are the only way to heal a soul and cure them of racism and that is what I am asking You to do; one by one get all up in our mess, our business, our families, and our friends and heal us I pray in JESUS’ Holy and Mighty Name.
