21 Days of Fasting and Prayer for Our Children and Grandchildren – Day 20 The Most Important Thing

As a parent, it's so easy to get distracted by shiny and enticing life goals that look important, but are really only temporary.

21 Days of Fasting and Prayer for our Children and Grandchildren – Day 19 Faith is the Victory!

It's time to step out of passivity into passion, hopelessness to hope and victimhood to victory! The world has been dark for a long time and it has only gotten darker. When we spend our days shrinking back in fear, we put our own lights out. John 1 says, "In the beginning was the Word, …

21 Days of Fasting and Prayer for Our Children and Grandchildren – Day 18 Wisdom and Revelation

For those who know me, you will be very familiar with today's passage. It's from Paul's prayer for the Ephesians.

21 Days of Fasting and Prayer for Our Children and Grandchildren – Day 17 Don’t Give Up!

When I started this 21 days of prayer and fasting, I felt led to put the same challenge out to other parents and grandparents (and g-g's!). The first blog had 150 reads. Day 5 has 55. Day 16 has 10. I know that fasting is hard. But, when I wake up in the morning and …

21 Days of Fasting and Prayer for our Children and Grandchildren – Day 15 Passing the Baton of Faith

21 Days of Fasting and Prayer for our Children and Grandchildren – Day 11 Dwelling Place for Generations

Psalm 90 is a song of Moses. Moses lived 40 years in the palace of the Pharaoh of Egypt, 40 years in the wilderness running from his consequences and his last 40 years leading the children of God out of slavery and toward the Promised Land. His perspective as the prophet of God who gave …

21 Days of Fasting and Prayer for Our Children and Grandchildren – Day 9 The Persistent Widow

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 …
