A Challenge

Everyone likes a challenge. But this challenge isn't a tough one -- it's an exciting one, an opportunity and privilege.

The Challenge -- For one week, beginning today, as you pray and meditate and talk to God (You do that each day, right?) pray The Word for the child you will sponsor. Maybe you are a $100/month sponsor or a prayer parent. That doesn't matter, what matters is that we are covering these children and the Wesley Home with prayer. Just choose a child and pray a scripture using their name.

My example using Psalm 141:3-4
Set a guard over Daisy's mouth, O Lord; keep watch over the door of her lips. Let not Daisy's heart be drawn to what is evil, to take part in wicked deeds with men who are evildoers; let Daisy not eat of their delicacies.

Many scriptures would be great for this. Here are a few if you don't have one in mind.
Psalm 140:4-5
Psalm 139:14
Psalm 5:11
Prov 3:5-6
Isaiah 48:17
1 Kings 3:9
Joshua 1:9
Romans 14:7-9
Phil 2:14-16
Colossians 1:9-10
2 Thess 1:11-12

I hope you will join me in praying The Word for our kids.

Thankful,
Sheryl
