Praying the Scriptures for your Children: Wisdom and Discernment

Sorry for the delay.... a lot has been going on in the McPherson household the past few weeks. Through it all I am growing in thankfulness to my Savior who has been our portion, rock, comfort, peace, joy.... all that we've needed.

It is so good to know The source of life-giving joy. In a season of life with MANY unknowns Christ remains the Master Comforter and Provider. His grace is surely sufficient. Now that is reassurance to press on!

Praying for Wisdom and Discernment
"If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be giving to him." James 1:5

Heavenly Father,
