My grandmother, Ruth Graham, said when it comes to the salvation of our children, we are to take care of the possible and let God take care of the impossible. We can’t save their souls—only God can do that—but there are other things we can do.
There is nothing more important than praying faithfully and intentionally for our children, grandchildren and nieces and nephews. Just as the calendar was about to flip from 2021 to 2022, I asked God for a word to guide my life for the next 12 months. His answer came just as I was about to go to sleep for the night: Prayer.
In this episode, I will tell you a personal story of how—within a few days of giving me the word ‘prayer’—God answered a very precious prayer for me.
I’ll also share a recap of my experience last month at the 49th March for Life and how you can pray for the pro-life movement and the important Supreme Court decision on Roe vs. Wade later this summer.
