I have specifically set time aside to pray for everyone that is is being mentored, mentoring or leading in the grow ministires. However, many of you have been returning the favor by asking me what I need prayer for and I love that! So I decided that I would share with you some specific prayer requests for me and my family if you feel led to lift up the Detken.
- Pray for my dad. He has not crossed the line of faith but I am believing that God will change his heart this year.
- Pray for my brother (Karl) who will be moving to Florida this year. This is a big move!
- Pray for my son (Jackson) and his self-control (when your 9 years old, that's kinda tough :) Actually that's tough at any age!
- Pray for my daughter (Mia) and her developing good friendship (she's in the 1st grade)
- Pray for my wife and wisdom as she is considering going back to school.
- Pray for wisdom for me as I counsel people God places in my life and how He wants me to step into their life.
Absolutely! Re Jackson....Good for you for making that a priority! we have let our kids slack of self control re they way they respond to us. It was cute at first, but not so much now. They can act like they are entitled an explanation! So now we are paying for it! BUT God is good and His mercy endures! They are still young and that is our present focus....helping them see what self control is and loving them through as Jesus would do for us! Also reminding them, that even God doesn't give us explanations. We obey because we LOVE God as we hope they will do the same for us! :)
