31 Ways to Pray for your Children: Courage

Well, nothing short of an eventful past 24 hours over here! Bekham had yet another vomitting episode late last night only to be followed by the loudest possible thunderstorm known to Marietta. Seriously. I think the cloud sat over our house at least an hour. As is usually the case, I let Bek sleep with us so we would hear him if he had a repeat episode (which he didn't) but he was restless the entire night and up off and on until morning. And THEN. He decides to go all day with essentially no naps. Maybe he slept half an hour if you count the time he fell asleep in my arms before trying to put him down! Crazy kid! Could have something to to do with his curiosity and dare I say courage? :)



He's so funny. Somehow it made it most of the day without being a complete and utter disaster from lack of sleep!

Today's prayer of the day is for Courage. Deuteronomy 31:6 says, "Be strong and of good courage; do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.”

God I love this prayer for our little boy. I love the image of this little baby growing into a man who is  brave, bold, and fearless. Strong and courageous, just like Joshua. Let him confront uncertainty, fear and danger with courage. Let him follow where you lead him and do it with courage. Accomplish great things for Your kingdom through him Lord.
