Restorer

Recently, I had to wait for a grain train to pass prior to driving up the road to my home. Of course, the railcars were covered in colorful graffiti. It seems those cars are just prime targets. But, as the cars traveled the tracks, one went by that caught my attention. In the center up high and noticeable was the word "Restorer."

Yes, that is who the Lord our God is—our Restorer. Just as the railroad company will eventually take those railcars and restore them to their original condition, sans graffiti, the Lord has the ability to do that with us...with our children.

One thing I love about the ministry of Moms in Prayer International is that as we come together as concerned moms, we are bathed in the truth of the Word of God and He restores our souls. No wonder the enemy fights hard to keep moms from joining us. His desire is for moms to stay in worry and anxiety and in busyness—doing all the human stuff possible to guard and keep their children but not laying them at the feet of the Throne. Add to that the enemy's desire to separate us and keep us as moms from being a forceful body against his desire for our kids.

I appreciate the moms that have prayed with me over the years with determination to fight for my kids and theirs. As Henry Morris wrote, they are warriors whose mouths are filled with prayers and bold speech; their swords have no scabbard, and retreat is unthinkable. And I am filled with gratitude for what the Lord has done in our children's lives—in spite of the enemy's lion-like tactics. And I am standing steadfast with them that our God, the Restorer, is still working in their lives to bring them back in every way to follow Him and have the rest of faith.

May it be so!

Pray always.

Pray in the Spirit.

Pray about everything in every way you know how!

And keeping all this in mind, pray on behalf of God’s people.

Keep on praying feverishly, and be on the lookout until evil has been stayed.
