NEVER STOP PRAYING!

By Anita Mondragon
 
I was awakened with a start as I felt someone shaking my shoulder.  I even turned and said out loud…”What?  What’s wrong?”  I heard God say, “Wake up and pray for your son!”  It was 4:11 in the wee hours of the morning.  It frightened me!  I wanted to call and see if everything was ok…but didn’t because I did not want to wake them.  So, instead, I gave it to the Lord and asked Him to have mercy on the situation.  I prayed for hours !  The next morning, I texted him to see if everything was alright.  It was, thank the Lord.  I believe that God must have been speaking to him in his sleep.
 
My son is such a talented musician and singer!  He could lead folks into worship very easily.  You see, the devil knows this as well.  That’s why he keeps my son distracted with the things of this world…not only money, houses, cars, and the like, but the philosophy and thinking of the world have blinded  his eyes to the Truth.  The  views, and influence of other religions have crept in and confused our children, even though we as Christian parents brought them up to believe in the one true God.  
 
The devil is out to get our kids!  Believe that!  That is why we must NEVER stop praying for our children!  Stand on the promises that God has given you in the Bible!  Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will NOT depart from it.”  It also says in Acts 16:31, “Believe in the Lord Jesus [as your personal Savior and entrust yourself to Him] and you will be saved, you and your household,”
 
NEVER GIVE UP HOPE!  NEVER STOP PRAYING!
