Praying for our children!

Not long ago, I was reading about the armor of God. Tonight, I' m reading a truly inspiring book by Janet Thompson,
Praying for your prodigal daughter. 

Here is what she says: 
 I stand and fasten the belt of truth around my waist and 
I put on the breastplate of righteousness..
as shoes for the feet,  I put on the readiness to proclaim the gospel of peace, .. 
I take up the shield of faith to guard my heart against all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 
I take the helmet of salvation 
and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Ephesians 6: 10-18

Do you have any worries about your children or grand-children (I don't have any grand-children..yet!) 

Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you, he will never let the righteous fall. Psalm 55:22. 

Rely fully on the Lord who is in charge! 

Hang on to God's promises!

Brian and Gina Walden always wanted to have a family. Their first son was easy, their second son Ethan would wake up and scream. Mum says: I would tickle him, bring his toys and he wouldn't respond. As he got older, his parents worried. He would just cry and bit himself until he bled. Their doctor told them he had autism. 

They began to care for him but the stress strained their marriage. One night they realised they were up against something else and that this fight was a spiritual battle as much as a physical. 
Dad: I started to get up earlier and we would pray. 
Soon after that, they found an autism specialist Ginelle who was a Christian too: 'Prayer was as important as therapy'  and she would pray with them daily...
This is such an encouraging story. Our God loves us and He is there for us in every moment of our daily walk.

A prayer for today: Father, you hold us in our hands, you know our deepest thoughts and worries. 
We ask you to pour your healing on our little ones, their parents, grand-parents, carers, nurses, doctors and hospital staff. 
Guide them and help them keeping on looking after their patients, strengthten them, for your glory. 
In Jesus' name, our Saviour and Redeemer, amen.
Have a blessed day. N.
