Notes for Mother’s Day at church, video, May 3, 2011
Prayer to the Lord is powerful, and it works! That may seem simple, and to an extent prayer
is always a mystery; we ask why God wants us to talk with Him when He
knows everything anyway. But Jesus is our
Example, and prayer is very much within the Bible, and you can see the results
that prayer has on people’s lives.
I have been richly blessed that my mother prayed for my
sister and me. Everything came from
that. We prayed together, and we saw
many prayers answered over the years.
When I strayed from the path God had chosen for me in believing in Jesus
Christ as my Lord and Savior, I am sure it was Mom’s prayers that greatly
influenced the Lord in watching over me and in securing my salvation.
Royce and I pray for our grown
children all the time, together and individually. As a mom, I don’t have to tell parents how
much my children are on my heart. Their
salvation above all and their well-being mean everything to me. We are so thankful that our son made
that decision, and that decision has never changed in his life.
We need to keep growing and learning about what it is to
be a disciple of Christ. I think we
will have many things answered when Jesus comes to take us to Heaven. In the meantime, it is faith in Him and
trust. There’s a community group this
spring that we are learning about the power of praying for our adult
children. We can ask the Holy Spirit
for an outpouring upon our children for salvation, restoration, healing,
good living, and above all, a relationship with Jesus Christ. There’s a book that Stormie Omartian writes
about these things. She says that God is
the only Perfect Parent, and that we can know and say: “for this child, I
prayed!”
