Brittany over at the
PoeFam Blog started this challenge for herself last year and is continuing it again this year. She is vowing to study/meditate/pray over a single verse for her family each week this year. She mentions how at the beginning of the week she isn't always sure why she is praying over that topic, but by the end of the week, God has made it clear.
I am excited to do this this year- and have already written each verse on the week in my calendar. I plan to make a print out of each verse as well to put on my mirror. I can't wait to see how the Lord blessed me through praying for my family, husband, son and myself as a mother this year!
Will you join us and journal each week or as often as you can what God teaches you through that topic of prayer?
Leave a comment and let me know you are joining this group of Mommies in Prayer!
