Faith in prayers for our children!

When we watch our children going through hard times, struggling, hurting, fighting addictions of all kinds and suffering with any pain or illness, our faith in our prayers is tested.  We have covered them in prayer for all those firsts in their lives.  First day of  school, spending the night away, riding a bike and then the driving and dating.  And though we  know prayer is the answer for everything we struggle with, waiting  becomes so very hard where are children are involved. Our prayer seems dry.  But what we may forget in those dry times is that God knows our faithfulness. He has seen our trust in him from the beginning.  And it is that trust that will move us and our children along the path of faith.

Yes,sometimes life is difficult and painful.  And although we may not feel his presence, his help is always there, ready and waiting, dry prayer or not. We just have to remember to take shelter in him daily.  “He is my refuge, a Rock where no enemy can reach me.  O my people trust Him all the time.  Pour out your longings before Him, for He can help!”

If we trust and believe in Our Lord Jesus Christ, we will find peace for today, strength for tomorrow and hope for a brighter future for our children.

Remember as Our Blessed Mother often tells us in her Medjugorje messages, Pray...Pray...Pray.
