In Biblical Christianity we value the nuclear family - father, mother, and children all in the roles that God lays out for each person. The husband should love his wife as Christ loved the Church and laid his life down for her. The wife should respect her husband. The children obey and honor their father …
21 Days of Fasting and Prayer for Our Children and Grandchildren – Day 7 Shout! For the Lord has Given You the City!
Mighty fortresses seem impenetrable. Everyone who traveled past the city of Jericho could see how tightly shut up the city was. Jericho was the fortress of safety for Canaan. All of the surrounding towns would have come into Jericho for protection against the massive ranks of Israel's soldiers amassing on the border. The children of …
21 Days of Fasting and Prayer for Children and Grandchildren – Day 6 Walking on Water
When asking God for miracles, we need to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus. Why is it important to remember this? Because, we generally only need miracles when we are in an epic life-storm.

21 Days of Fasting and Prayer for our children and grandchildren – Day 5 Forgiveness is the Foundation of Freedom
...forgiveness brings peace and life. Forgiveness is casting all our cares upon Jesus, because he cares for us.

21 Days of Fasting and Prayer for our Children and Grandchildren – Day 3
In a time where people love to mock "thoughts and prayers" as inaction against evil, we must remember that prayer is the greatest action we can take. “John Knox prayed, and the results caused Queen Mary to say that she feared the prayers of John Knox more than she feared all the armies of Scotland. John Wesley prayed, and revival came to England, sparing that nation the horrors of the French Revolution. Jonathan Edwards prayed, and revival spread throughout the American colonies. History has been changed time after time because of prayer. I tell you, history could be changed again if people went to their knees in believing prayer. Even when times are bleak and the world scorns God, He still works through the prayers of His people. Pray today for revival in your nation, and around the world.” ― Billy Graham, Hope for Each Day: Words of Wisdom and Faith

Seeking the Lord in spiritual battle for someone's soul can require patiently waiting on the Lord by faith.

Trusting God for All Our Needs
I cried and cried. We didn’t tell anyone but the Lord. I spent time talking to God about what he had asked us to do. He wanted us to move to a new city where we didn’t know anyone, make sacrifices and yet here we were in this situation. I remember being brutally honest with the Lord in my prayer time.
