Chapel Altar in the Melk Abbey
"And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ – to the glory and praise of God." –Philippians 1:9-11
Since my children have become adults, I don't bathe them, I don't feed them, I don't drive them around anymore, but one thing I still do daily is pray for them and that prayer has become much more precious to me.
Today I noticed that Paul's prayer in Philippians is the exact prayer I pray for my kids every day. How cool is that? And it also occurred to me that most of Paul's teachings were bullet style — guess that's the writer in me.
My prayer for our children:
- that their love may abound and grow wiser
- that they can discern what is good
- that they can be blameless and pure
- that they may be filled with the righteousness of Christ
- that they will glorify God

There's a worldwide event coming up in 2 weeks for all Christian women who are concerned about children and schools. Join women around the world on November 14 for Arise! Cry Out!, a worldwide day of extraordinary prayer for children and schools.
This generation is in desperate need of our Loving Father. Will you join us in praying for the children of our community and those around the world? Our church is excited to be a local host site for this powerful, life-changing time of prayer.
Imagine women in hundreds of locations throughout the United States and in countries around the world praying in one heart for God to bring repentance, restoration and revival to the children in our own communities and those around the world.
Imagine the impact our prayers could have throughout our schools, throughout our communities, throughout our world and throughout the generations.
Celebrating 25 years of praying for children and schools, Moms In Touch International is hosting this historic prayer event inviting women around the world to Arise! Cry Out! for the generations. This time of prayer will be facilitated by a professional DVD, created from the Live Event in San Diego on October 9 and 10.
