Worldwide Mom’s Day of Prayer Update

Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about

anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father

in heaven. For where two or three come together in my name,

there am I with them. Matthew 18:19-20

From Kathy – LET’S GET REAL!!!

The economy STINKS!!! Because it STINKS life has been greatly affected in families all across the world. I have seen the look in the faces of men and women and it is a look of “lost hope.” You see, I understand this look because my husband and I have faced this walk in many areas of our lives. What areas? In our business, both of our children being diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa – an eye disease, breast cancer…no other way to put it than to say – IT IS HARD!!!

The scripture that I have grasped over and over through these times is Psalm 46:1, “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in time of trouble.” Oh, how I cling to that scripture especially in the middle of the night when my stomach feels like it will explode from worry.

So this update is to ENCOURAGE and CHALLENGE – YOU – to bring a Mom’s Day of Prayer to YOUR area! If you can only host it for one hour – GO FOR IT!!! You can host a MDOP on January 16^th or any day throughout the year. JUST GO FOR IT!!!

Why bring this to your community? Because FAMILIES NEED PRAYER MORE THAN EVER!!!! WAKE UP and look into the faces of those who you come in contact with during each day – the look is there.

You can have small business type cards made with the date, times and location of your MDOP to give out to every woman you come in contact with. Believe me, IT WILL BE WORTH IT for your community, your state and the world.

My devotion today from “Streams in the Desert” by L.B. Cowman – “Abraham, “without weakening in his faith, faced the fact that his body was as good as dead…Yet he did NOT waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God” (Rom.4:19-20). May we “watch and pray so that we will not fall into the temptation” (Matt. 26:41) of praying faith-diminishing prayers.”

LET’S GET REAL – Our communities need YOU to host a Mom’s Day of Prayer in your area. I Challenge YOU today to seek God’s face to do this. “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” (Prov. 29:18) YOU can bring the “vision” of MDOP with the power of God’s Holy Spirit to your area!!! GO FOR IT!!
