Feburary- Health

Dear Parents,

I want to appoloize for not posting our devo's for this past week. I have been doing some healing of my own with recovering from gall bladder surgery Friday a week ago. I can say this our Heavenly Father is so very Faithful. I have been able to bounce back rather quickly as some people may say. God has given me favor for quick recoveries as I have had much practice over the years. I truely trust and know the charcter of Jevhoah Rophe- God our Healer.

I won't delay any longer. I have decided to give 2 scriptures and prayers for each day this week to make sure you have all verses that God has given.

Well Parents, I hope you are as awed as I am -how God's Word truely covers every thing that we may need. I know these prayers are short but use them to start your own prayers over your child(ren). I know once you start to pray the Lord will lead you to other areas to pray in and over your child(ren). He is so very awesome like that.

I hope everyone has a great week...Don't forget to journal what God is showing you as you pray over your babies.
