| Introduction | In 1983 due to the pastoral ministry we moved from the US to Kelowna, BC often touted as the Hawaii of Canada, a seventy mile long lake separates the east and west side. For years I’ve been encouraged to write a blog on prayers from Scripture and haven’t had the inspiration required to write. I was in Texas in March visiting my daughter and her family and on Sunday morning their pastor Michael Dennis spoke on John 17:17, “Sanctify them in truth Your Word is truth.” He framed it by saying that in the original language the word sanctified means, “Set apart for a sacred use.” At that moment, I was inspired with the thought, “What a great prayer to begin a blog with.” Could there be a prayer more effective prayer than praying over your children grandchildren, or anyone for that matter, Father, “May _____ be set apart for sacred use, or if they are not walking in it, may they return to the place You’ve called them to!” While this blog was set up for me several years ago by my daughter, it has remained empty until now. May you be encouraged to pray effectively for your family and friends in yet another way! |
