Hey standers,
Well here in Louisiana we are still fighting flooding and are covered with tornado sightings and warnings so please keep praying for all of us here. I received a text from my wife, who lives 220 miles away, letting me know that she is very busy working so close to New Orleans at the sheriffs office but she is safe. I thank God that she is OK and I also thank him for the work he has been doing in our marriage. Thank you all for your prayers.
Today I want to encourage you all to never stop praying for your prodigals, not even for a day. Sometimes we find ourselves so busy,tired,discouraged, or even caught in a hurricane, that we put praying side. No matter what happens or how you feel never stop praying even for a day. Remember satan never takes a vacation from evil so we should never take a break from prayer. Luckily our God never takes a vacation from loving us and talking to the hearts of our prodigals.
I know sometimes its hard to pray. Sometimes its hard to praise God when you are tired or depressed but the Lord calls us to do so. Its doesn't have to be a long fancy prayer. Sometimes all we can do is say the same of Jesus and thats all it takes. Jesus knows our hearts, our minds, our souls and our problems. All we need to do is call his name.
The salvation of our spouses depend on our prayers and faith. So do the futures of our children, future generations and the existence of our very families.
Jesus. Thats all it takes. Just that name. Jesus.
Ronnie

Amen and Amen

O magnify the LORD, and let us exalt His name together. As for GOD, His way is perfect! The Word of the LORD is tested and tried; He is a shield to all those who take refuge and put their trust in Him.

Let the words of our mouths and the meditation of our hearts be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, our firm, impentrable rock and our redeemer.

Your Word has revived us and given us life. Forever, O LORD, Your Word is settled in heaven. Your Word is a lamp unto our feet and light unto our paths.

Amen and Amen
