Sep. 29, 2008 - One-on-one prayer time
My husband and I don't do this often enough, but what a blessing it is when we do. After my husband prayed with us, we talked a few moments with each child alone. We asked them what they needed prayer for, talked about heaven, being saved and what sin is with our 3 year old, obedience, and told them what they did today that we were proud of. We then prayed with each child for their specific requests and for our desires for them.
Each child was so different and precious. This is a good reminder for me as I catch myself trying to teach and guide one child the same way as I did another child. They are God's clay, and He is the potter.
I love these memories, and I hope my children will remember those special times when they are grown and raising their own families. Prayerfully, they'll remember more good than bad. I pray they let God have His way with their lives. Maybe trying this one night this week will be a blessing to some Mommy out there. We need all the encouragement we can get as we go through the ups and downs of our busy lives teaching, training, and rearing our children. Sometimes their prayer requests are convicting, and we must change our ways, but that is a good thing.
God bless you ladies who are surrendered to God's calling of teaching your children at home.
