  Speaker 1: To go to God in prayer, and as always I
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: ask that you join along with me in prayer. And
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: as a mom of adult children, oftentimes I'm up and
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: I'm praying for my children, on warfare for my children,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: and I'm concerned about them and the things that they're
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: going through, are the needs that they have, and my
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: heart is heavy, y'all from my babies. And then yesterday
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: I ran into a mom. This is my second time
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: incountering her with a child with disability, and she was
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: an older mom and with an adult son with disability.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: And my heart broke for that mom. And today that's
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: what I want to pray about. Heavenly Father, we come
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: before you today with hearts lifted, minds humbled in spirits
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: yearning for your presence. Lord, you are the god of generations,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and we thank
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: you that your love and your mercy extends from parents
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: to children, from children to children's children. And Father, we
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: lift up our adult children before you right now. You
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: know the ruggles they're facing God, the choices they have
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: to make, and the burdens that sometimes feel too heavy

  Speaker 1: to carry. Some are battling identity and purpose some are
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: navigating relationships and careers. Some are fighting silent wars with anxiety, depression, addiction,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: or loneliness. Lord, in those places where parents can no
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: longer intervene or protect, we ask you to stretch forth
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: your mighty hand. Be their counsel of God. When confusion arises,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: be their shield, Win's temptation comes. Be their anchor. When
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: the storms of life threaten to sweep them away. Father,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: remind them of the seeds that were sown in them,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: and let them not depart from your truth. Lord. We

• 1:48
  Speaker 1: are shed in secret, their prayers whispered in the night,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: and the questions they carry in their hearts. Remind them
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: that their children are not accidents, but divine creations, fearfully
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: and wonderfully made and your image. Give parents endurance when
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: exhaustion sets in. Give them compassion God when frustration tries
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: to creep in. Enjoy God in the small victories that
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: others may overlook. Surround those families with communities of love
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: and support, and let your strength be perfected in their weakness. God,
