“…praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication.” — Ephesians 6:18 Parenting is a battle today. It may be tougher than at any other time in history to raise godly kids, and to be in the battle means to be in prayer. God is calling forth parents today, moms and dads, who will be prayer warriors, parents who will develop the core values of our children’s lives through the power of prayer. Because you see, prayer does change lives! And the life that you change will very likely be your own and the lives of your children. If you want your children to succeed, pray that God’s will would be done in their lives on earth as it is in heaven. Rather than imposing our agenda on the lives of our children, pray that God’s agenda would be accomplished in them. If you want to be a Hall of Fame mom…if you want to be a Hall of Fame dad, you just show up in prayer every day in the presence of God. Start a streak and start praying…not someday, not any day, but EVERY day you pray for your kids! We need to be thinking not just about now, but those future generations…our children and their children and their children’s children’s children. We can have influence over the next 100 years or more! How? Praying for our children and our grandchildren! START A PRAYER STREAK THAT WILL STREAK INTO ETERNITY. A Eulogy for God Monday, February 04, 2019 by Dr. Paul Chappell “Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:” Ephesians 1:2–4 In our day, we think of a eulogy strictly as something that belongs at funerals, where a friend, family member, or pastor speaks of the life of the deceased. As such, it sounds very strange to our ears to speak of a eulogy for the undying and eternal God we worship. But the original meaning of the word was not limited merely to the end of life. The compound Greek word eulogetus means “a good word” and this is the common word used when the Bible instructs us to bless God. People can be a blessing to us in many ways, offering comfort, financial help, counsel, and fellowship to meet different needs that we have. But how can we be a blessing to God? There is absolutely nothing that He needs from us. We cannot add to His wisdom or wealth or power. Everything already belongs to Him. “If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof” (Psalm 50:12). But when we praise Him, when we speak good words about God to ourselves and to others, He is pleased. Praise toward God should be natural to those of us who have received His gift of salvation. Even when we do not feel like praising Him, we are reminded that it is not optional, but commanded. If you have a respiratory system, this applies to you. “Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD” (Psalm 150:6). Praise God for His goodness today. Today's Growth Principle:  A Christian who does not speak good things about God is both ungrateful and disobedient.
