The Purpose in My Prayer Closet...
Greetings...
The longer I am a mother,
the more I learn the importance of praying
for the children that God has entrusted me with.
Though training them in righteousness
according to God's Word,
it is all in vain if I am not praying fervently
that the Lord will do His great work in them.
It is my desire and goal to use this blog
as my online prayer journal
as I pray fervently for my children.
Here I will pour out my heart to the Lord as I
"come boldly unto the throne of grace."
