Prayer

Jeromy came home last night with a dry erase board and announced, "We don't pray enough in this house." He is right, of course. The dry erase board was first used by Jeromy when he worked for Alpha Academy (www.alphaacademy.com). They wrote down prayer requests for each day of the week and then prayed for them during lunch. The only meal of the day we are together is dinner, so I think we will be praying before dinner each night. On the board I have listed a theme for each night and then specific people and things under that heading.

Monday- Our family
Tuesday-Samantha's family
Wednesday-Jeromy's family
Thursday-Our nation- leaders, lawmakers and judges; the Tri-Cities; local pregnancy help centers
Friday-Global issues; missionaries
Saturday-Our church- the members, pastors and their families

I am hoping to incorporate these prayer requests into my devotion time with the kids as well as to help Bennett think of new things to pray for. He is getting into the habit of praying the same thing each day and could use some new inspiration. It will be a good example to both of them.
