Simple Prayer for Parents

   I'll be praying a lot today, we just dropped our kids off at school! They were excited, as I think I mentioned before, the girls have never been to "big school." And Elijah went to this same school in First Grade, so he is actually meeting up with his old buddies now in Fifth Grade! Prayers are appreciated as I (Shannon) am tying up loose ends regarding the enrollment of my classes for this Fall, we had a few hitches and are trusting it all to The Lord!! And also, Titus' summer semester is closing in, so prayers for wisdom and perseverance through the final reading and papers would be a great blessing to us!

A simple prayer adapted from Scripture, I just typed it up so I could print it and hang it up on the fridge. Feel free to pray, and print one for yourself or a friend. ( I think you should be able to just right click it and save??) In this morning's devotions, I listed out all my mom friends and their children and am going to pray this over each one of them...I encourage you to pray and intercede for mothers and children you know. The Lord has placed them in your life in this moment in time!

1 Thessalonians 5:24
The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.

God will make this happen, for he who calls you is faithful.

Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will bring it to pass.

We have had several prayers answered. Needs that we have been giving to the Lord, He has faithfully provided. It is a daily offering to Him, "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." (Matthew 6:33-34)

Titus is about to finish up his summer courses and I (Shannon) will be starting my Biblical studies here in the next few weeks. Titus will then start a new round of classes in August, too. The kids are heading to school in a few days! The girls have never been to school and are super excited, yay praise The Lord! And Elijah will be joining back with his old friends he knew in first grade....but they are all four years older now so this will be interesting! Prayers appreciated!!!

And still we trust Him with our lives, because we belong to Him and want to be used for His purposes only. Whether in what we say or do or think, we want to point others to Jesus, who is sitting at the right hand of God the Father. We will fix our eyes on Him so we will not grow weary and lose heart!
