The race-transcending gospel - Such an encouragement to share our faith with everyone and anyone without fear or prejudice! Trillia Newbell.
Counselling the hard cases - Yes, God can help - even with the really hard cases. Interesting reflections on severe mental disorders, porn addiction, and so on.
Matt Smethurst.
The pleasures and sorrows of work - Can we know our "calling"? Or is this a modern, Western idea - even a "cruel" idea - grafted onto Christianity? Some interesting thoughts here.

Learn to be a ‘there you are’ person rather than a ‘here I am’ person - Read this if you walk in the door and instantly feel uncomfortable and wonder what people think of you. Jani Ortlund.
How to pray for your husband - A great list for married women to print out and tuck into your Bibles. Shared by Susie.
Thanks jean for this encouragement for what to pray for our husbands. I remember a few months back you had a link to a post on what to pray for our sons. Ive got that one printed out and in my bible. I'm now going to add this one for husbands.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you had any links to anything helpful and concise about how to pray for our daughters??
thanks for your encouragement on your blog
Wish I did! That would be worth writing, wouldn't it? Maybe I could ask everyone what they pray for their daughters on this blog and make a list.
ReplyDeleteI can share one prayer we pray regularly for ours: "Please help Lizzy to grow to be as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside, [and sometimes I add] and to treat other people beautifully."
We sometimes pray for our little boys to "grow up to be mighty men of God"! :)
Love Jean.
