Pray for Families (Plugging into Nature)

Greetings Prayer Warriors,


This past week I was blessed to attend a program that dubs itself “restorative adventure”.  It is geared toward young adults who are impacted by cancer and other serious health conditions. I was there to have the same experience as a regular attendee, so as to share the power of this program to those who qualify.  I learned a few things that I think will be restorative to the family. 


Toss out the negative thoughts, all those voices that limit you. Leave your electronics behind, even if that means you start with a few hours before you progress to days. What precious time they steal, and they are not good for the soul. 


They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and revered and worshiped the creature rather than the creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. Romans 1:25


However, nature is the perfect restorative medicine, for it is there we can hear God’s voice and explore God’s magnificent creation!  Grab your family and plan an outdoor adventure, something like hiking, kayaking, camping, the beach, or a float trip. Don’t be afraid to push your boundaries: mental, physical, and emotional!  Spending time with creation will help you and your family grow closer to the Creator. It lends itself to mental prayer too! 


The earth is full of the mercy of the LORD. By the LORD’s word the heavens were made; by the breath of his mouth all their host. He gathered the waters of the sea as a mound; he sets the deep into storage vaults. Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all who dwell in the world show him reverence.  

Psalms 33:5-8


Pray dear warriors, and commit to unplugging and reconnecting with family. Together, explore nature’s beauty, and in doing so each of you will find your true beauty in the eyes of God.


I praise you, because I am wonderfully made; wonderful are your works! Psalms 139:14


Peace, Joy, and Love,

Janet
