Children and Prayer Challenge

With the beginning of this new year, I have been inspired by the Lord to push further into praying for my children. My boys are such treasures to me and it is a privilege to love on them, teach them, and pray for them. I know that you as mothers must feel the same way about your children! Several years ago I had a conversation with a friend of mine who shared her testimony of praying for her children all through their growing up and feeling certain of her call as an intercessor in this way. Her children are now grown and have children of their own and their lives are true examples of the Lord's protection, favor, and promise. After that conversation, I was encouraged and knew that one of my key jobs as a mother is interceding on behalf of my children.

Earlier this week, I spoke to my good friend and neighbor about this focus of mine this year and asked her if she'd join me in doing some sort of prayer challenge for 10 days that would help develop our focus and habit in praying for our kids. She agreed and in our conversation we realized that we knew several moms who might want to join us in this challenge...which brings us to the reason I'm writing. I wanted to invite you to join me in lifting up our children for 10 days (starting Monday, January 19th and ending on Friday, January 30th.) Starting on Monday I will be posting on my blog a daily prayer topic that can be our focus as we pray. No matter your age or your kids' ages, I would love for you to join us in prayer. One of the coolest things about technology and the "blogging world" is that no matter where we live we can join as praying community in this challenge. I would love for you not only to join me in praying but to share comments regarding how the Lord is moving in your prayer time, your life, and your kids' lives!

Thank you for considering joining this prayer community...I would love to know if you are interested. I am so thankful to have a community of moms around me and look forward to the accountability and encouragement that this challenge could bring. "See" ya Monday!
