I heard Tucker Carlson share on YouTube, asking everyone in this nation to pray for at least 10 minutes a day for this nation. This comes from a secular news anchor, not a pastor. We should be hearing this clarion call from pastors all over the nation.I believe it comes back to families. Family is the first institution God ordained and everything should begin in the family. Prayer should begin in the family. I believe it is the responsibility of every God-fearing family to pray for the nation. I know we are all grieved and concerned at the wickedness that is now openly displayed in this nation. How can we not cry out to God for His mercy and deliverance?
Can I encourage you, dear parents, to gather your family together night and morning to read God’s Word together and pray for this nation? Teach your children how to pray for the nation. God hears the prayers of children as much as adults. We not only do this every day in our home, but we also have two prayer meetings a week for the nation here on the Hilltop.
I wished I could have taken picture on Wednesday night at our prayer meeting at Sam and Serene’s home. Not only parents, but children and young people filled every space, even down to the little toddlers and babies going to sleep on the floor. Prayer is not just for adults. It’s for the whole family.
I am always challenged by this Scripture in Jeremiah 10:25: “Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name.” Wow, that’s powerful, isn’t it? If we as a family are not calling upon the name of the Lord, we may as well be a heathen family.
Just think of what could happen if every God-loving family began to intercede with their families each day for great repentance and revival in this nation. God has promised that He will hear our prayers. We all know 2 Chronicles 7:14 by heart, but are we doing it?
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and PRAY, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will HEAL THEIR LAND.”

Are you making it sweet? Have you said something very sweet to your husband today? Are you speaking sweetly to your children? You show the example for how your children will
Save Me, Lord Jesus, from living in the flesh,
I am so challenged. Hebrews 9:1 (JBP) says: “Now the first Agreement had certain rules for the service of God, and it had a Sanctuary, A HOLY PLACE IN THIS WORLD FOR THE ETERNAL GOD.” This Scripture speaks of the Holy of Holies in the tabernacle in the wilderness. God dwelt in His Shekinah glory in the Holy of Holies. It is the holy place God chose to dwell on the earth. No man could enter this sacred place, except the High Priest once a year. And he dared not enter without carrying the blood.
“I don’t know how we are going to survive. My husband doesn’t earn enough money to even pay our bills.”
I have been thinking of the blessedness of motherhood. Yes, along with the blessedness is hard work and heartache. However, I believe that the devil robs mothers of the joys and glory of motherhood. Because God ordained motherhood and created us for this high purpose, the devil hates it. He hates what God mandates. He feeds us with lies to think we are wasting our lives when in fact, we are fulfilling the very perfect will of God. When we embrace motherhood, we are on Gods side.
When you hear about some who “walks with God” you imagine someone who walks a godly life and who does great things for God. You think, “I wish I could walk with God like that but I’m just mothering children in my home. I don’t have time to do anything special for God.”
Dear Canadian readers,
We either yield to our flesh and our feelings or we yield to the life of Christ who dwells within in us. “It is no longer I that liveth, but Christ who liveth in me” (Galatians 2:20).
...a miserable atmosphere. Fill your home with joy, happiness, and a thankful heart instead. Show thankfulness to your husband. Be thankful for your children. Encourage a thankful and grateful spirit in the home, starting with yourself!
Satisfying, supplying, succoring, serving, supporting, strengthening, sheltering, sustaining, showering, and saving from harm.
“A woman’s glory is to reveal the motherly heart of God to watching world.”
There is a vast land of motherhood waiting for you to explore. Don’t hang around the edges. Embrace it all. And the more you pour into your marriage the more it will blossom.
I wonder if we really understand the power of God’s words that He releases into the universe. He spoke, and the worlds came into being. All it took was for God to open His mouth and speak.
The following is an article from Katie LaPierre. I know you will be encouraged. 
We have such a responsibility to lead our children the right way, or we are “blind guides” and both we and our children will fall into the pit (Matthew 15:14).
Are you content in your home? Are you content in your soul? I think it starts in our soul, don’t you? If we don’t have rest and contentment in our soul, how will we have it in our home?
The devil wants our children. He will take the souls, minds, and hearts of our children if we let him. He wants to take them down his road of destruction. We cannot give him an inch, or he takes a mile. We must be fierce guarders of our homes and our children’s hearts.
