What a blessing to bow before our Father with like-minded mothers; our humble intention was to plead for our school and in exchange He blessed our hearts. If you have 15-30 minutes to stop by the prayer room at the elementary campus on any Thursday morning, we encourage you to join us. We visit for just a few minutes to share heartfelt praises and needs for our school body. Today, we prayed for all the parents who have recently experienced the "abandonment" of their older children to college. We acknowledged that God is in control and they are fine in His hands.
We also lifted up any and all health concerns of our WCS family and friends, in particular anyone facing medical procedures or seeking an eminent cure. God knows who is in need, so we are sure that although we only mention the names of those who have personally asked us to pray, all who are in need were covered by our intercession.
As mothers, we acknowledged the difficulty in letting our children "do hard things" or go through struggles. We always want to rescue them or just do it for them. So, we prayed that we would let any thing that comes through our Heavenly Father's filter for the edification of our children be allowed to strengthen their faith. We know there will come a time in their lives where we, as parents, will not be there to catch them when they fall. We need to let them face challenging circumstances now to prepare them to be godly men and women. Remember, we are not raising them to be good children, but to be great adults.
Have a great week and we look forward to seeing you next Thursday!
Many of us as friends of Weatherford Christian School pray for our children, our teachers, our staff, and our volunteers. We also want to lift up the ongoing projects of our school. In fact, we all realize there are probably many opportunities for prayer about which we, as individuals, know very little. Herein lies the purpose of this Prayer Corner blog.
