    I appreciate that you are listing ways to pray for our children for Sunday Seven. The verses that go along with each way to pray are helpful, too. Thanks.

    It’s Sunday night and I thought I would come on by and say hello before I crawled into bed. Thanks for the reminder to pray for our babies… this is a great tool and I just know that you will be blessed for being truthful and open with this topic.
