Pray for Families (Baby Steps)

Greetings Prayer Warriors,

 

Anyone who has had a child, fondly remembers encouraging their baby to walk by taking just one step. What incredible joy results when the father and mother see their child attempt to respond to their call by taking a few steps before completely falling down! 

 

The delight of the Father and Mother is no different in the spiritual life. As the Lord calls to you, He, along with the Blessed Mother, rejoice in your first movement in response to God’s call.  The Father only expects one step at a time, and he holds your hand during each attempt!  Our Mother picks you up every time you fall and prays to the Lord that He give you the grace not be discouraged but to get back up and try again.

 

So as 2021 begins, make a resolution to bring joy to your heavenly parents by moving closer to the Lord. Take more steps, even if it’s just one at a time.  Soon you will want to walk with Him daily, as He will listen to all your problems, worries, and dreams. He will bring you peace in your trials.  And Mary, as the good Mother, will also listen, encourage, and intercede on your behalf.  Each step will strengthen your faith, renew your hope, and increase your love, so that you will become His light in your family.  Intrigued by the Light, your family too will draw closer to Him.

 

Continuing the good you have done, resolve to keep praying for families, especially those in most need of His grace. 

 

Blessings to you and your families in 2021!

 

Peace, Joy, and Love,

Janet
