I need to be more like Job.

I need to pray more for our kids.

Job prayed for his children’s relationship with God and when he was concerned that they might have sinned, he would offer sacrifices to the Lord on behalf of each.

Praying as he did so, of course.

You can read about in the first part of chapter 1 in the book of Job.

Perhaps you’ll be compelled by Job’s example as was I.

I need to pray specifically for each of our children and their spouses. I need to pray for our grandchildren.

And I need to do this every day.

The adult kids are not perfect just as I’m not perfect.

They sin just as I sin.

That’s why I need to pray for them to hear the convicting voice of the Holy Spirit so that they’ll fall before the Lord in the repentant desire for forgiveness, something that I need to do often as well.

Job 1:5 is so compelling regarding intercessory prayer and sacrifice — “This was Job’s regular practice.”

Let’s make our regular practice, as well, whether on behalf of biological children, in-law children, adopted children, godparent children, nieces, nephews….

You get the idea.

As always, I love you
Martin
