I have been blessed beyond measure as she has poured her heart, love, and passion for God's word into all of us these past weeks! So, yesterday was bittersweet as we celebrated LAUNCH DAY!!!
Let's face it parenting is just plain HARD! The battles we face with and for our children in today's culture seem as though they are far greater then they have ever been. This place we find ourselves has become a battleground for us as parents, grandparents, and guardians. We now need to fight for the hearts of our precious children.
Heidi says, "God doesn't expect us to come to him with everything figured out. No, he desires that we lay it all out there; our worries, Our fears, are doubts. " ( PFTB pg.21)
1 Chronicles 28:20 also says, "Be strong and courageous, and do the work, don't be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. "
Reading through these heartfelt devotions and prayers, I find my mama heart response to be:
I WANT TO BE BOLD! LORD, MAKE ME BOLD!
Mamas, I know your weary, but let's link arms and do the work! I encourage you to grab a copy of Prayers for the Battlefield , lace up your boots, get #offthebench, and onto the Battlefield!
Blessings Sweet Mamas,
Melissa
