"For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst"
(Matthew 18:20)
This evening we reflected on God being with us through prayer. Wugs and I have prayed together for as long as I can remember and now both boys shout out a loud "Amen!" when I've finished. With our big move to the UK, there have been so many things to pray about (a car, a house, a job, a preschool for Wugs, sickness, sleeplessness and worry) that sometimes it feels like a shopping list that I reel off each night. I thought it would be interesting and faith-building to record our prayers so we can look back on this time and see how God has been guiding us.
A while ago, I read about a Christian family that introduced a "prayer box" and each child would write a need and place it in the box for everybody to pray about. With a 3 year old and an 18 month old, this works a bit differently as neither of my boys can write, but I thought it was time to create something special around prayer. Tonight I wrote down two specific areas that we will be praying about over the next couple of weeks and asked Wugs and Dooey to place them in the box. Then, over the course of a month or a year we can review and give thanks.
