Session on Parenting, Part 11

Pray hard! Do you know that there is actually a church of Satan that prays and fasts against Christians, especially Christians in leadership? I guarantee that these people are aware of you and your plans to start a church in their area. And they are working against you. As wives, it is our responsibility to pray for our families. Never underestimate the power of Satan. Remember what Jesus says in John 10:10 about Satan, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”

This whole concept of balancing on God alone is easy to hear, but hard to practice. I’ve done it both ways. I’ve walked next to God and I’ve allowed Him to carry me. Choosing to allow God to carry me takes vulnerability and humility. It’s much easier to walk next to someone than to ask them to hold you. God loves us so much. He wants to hold us. He doesn’t want to settle for hand holding. He wants all of us. You have to give Him all of you. Your marriage, your children and your church are in desperate need of it. And your Father in heaven desires it more than anything.
