22) Contentment:
I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
Philippians 4:12-13

"God, teach my children the secret to contentment in any situation through the strength You provide."

Jesus blesses the children!

"I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them.
Mark 10:15-16

On Sunday, we shared the message of forgiveness in Christ with a simple object lesson; using a helium balloon representing people and weights attached to the balloon representing sin that keeps us separated from God. We then explained how all of our balloons have these weights attached and how Jesus' death on the cross releases us from them, which allows our balloon to rise into Heaven.
As a result, 11 children accepted Jesus for the first time.
Please take time to thank God and to pray for the kids. Those who accepted Jesus were:

Kloe Hale
Jeremy Goggins
Jason Sanchez
Molly Halter
Lauren Albrecht
Alex Gomez
McKenzie Gomez
Julia Wagner
Gabby Smith
Ketter Kruse
Jade Edwards

Each one should test his own actions. Then he can take pride in himself, without comparing himself to somebody else, for each one should carry his own load.

30 Day Prayer Challenge

I don't know what it was like for you growing up but I remember what it was like for me. I found it very hard to deal with the kids that picked on me or said sarcastic things about me.
I could beat them up, but that's not the point.
When they said those things, it made me question myself. My self-esteem was tied to what others thought of me when it should have been tied to what God thinks of me. I pray that our children will not have the world's cheap imitation of self-esteem, but Biblical self-esteem.

30 Day Prayer Challenge Day 10

10) Strong, Biblical Self-Esteem:
For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Ephesians 2:10


"God, help my children develop a strong self-esteem that is rooted in knowing that they are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus."

"God, help my children to have an attitude of respect toward others; especially their parents and those who exercise care for them."

You already know I'm praying specific prayers from the Bible for my kids over the next 30 days.
What you may not know is that I'm praying the same prayers for your children. Because I am the children's ministry director, I know many of your children personally. I have a personal desire to see your children grow in their faith and become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.

Since I'm out of the office for the next few days, I am posting some prayers ahead of time. Keep Praying!!
