31 Ways to Pray for your Children: Perseverance

Well today was another day of Bekham mastering the art of crawling. Or as some may call it, bounce crawling. He has taken to crawling with one knee and one foot, with a bounce and scoot in between. There's honestly nothing more adorable. I just put toys out of his reach ALL day long just to watch him go for them. I have probably taken 10 videos of him in the past 24 hours. Such a Mom! In other exciting news, our small group should be picking up pace come August... which means Bek will need to get used to Mommy and Daddy being away one night a week. Scratch that. Mommy and Daddy will need to get used to being away from Bekham one night a week! Anyways!

Today's prayer of the day is for Perseverance. Hebrews 12:1 says, "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us"

Heavenly Father, please give Bekham perseverance in all that he does. Most importantly, give him perseverance to run the race you've chosen for him. When giving up or quitting would be the easiest option, I pray that you would give him determination to see each task, challenge, responsibility through to completion.
