31 Ways to Pray for Your Children: Faith

Well we arrived safely and are in Holden Beach, NC. A few minor set backs (supposedly we were supposed to bring our own bath towels ... whoops!)... I forgot Bekham's white noise fan ... thankful for the white noise app on my iPhone! Makeshift rocking chair is out on the back deck, but the fresh air seems to help him calm down at night. Note to self: when buying new house, build deck of Bekham's (or future baby's) room and then purchase outdoor rockers. I wish. After making an early morning run to Walmart, we came home and Bekham slept an hour and a half. When he woke up, we headed to the beach/pool and then he went down for a whopping 2 hour nap. I was able to play volleyball with my sister-in-law and even chill on the beach for awhile. After he woke up, we swam some more, then showered and got ready for dinner... and then he took another nap. At an hour, we had to go interrupt him as there were birthday presents that needed attended to in the room Bekham was sleeping in. Maybe he'll use this week to catch up on 8 months of missed sleep. Hah. I wish. Tonight was night number two of our family dessert challenge. (We missed night number 1). However, they set the bar HIGH. Here's hoping our dessert stands out somehow come Thursday- check back in if you want to hear the results!

Today's prayer of the day is FAITH. Luke 17:5-6 says, "The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!" He replied, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you." 

God- I do pray that Bekham would have great faith. Let him take you at your Word. Let him believe that You are who You say You are and that You can do what You say you are going to do. (Anthem from a Beth Moore Bible Study). Let him always do things to the best of his ability, but take leaps of faith that you can fill in the gaps. I pray that his faith would be strong and that you would accomplish mighty works through him.
