MOMS IN TOUCH MOMENT
This week be prayed about God being our friend. We prayed about him being a
friend who sticks closer than a brother. We also prayed that our children
hear God say, "Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for
I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with
my righteous right hand." (Isaiah 41:10) If you have a moment, you might
pray the same for your child. -Debbie Heggemeier and Moms in Touch International
