Ephesians 6:17

Ephesians 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

I'm leaving in a few minutes for the airport for our family vacation to France. God's word for me: To take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.


I pray for traveling mercies, that my family will be safe in Your arms as we move from highway to air to over the ocean and back again. 

I pray for patience and love for my children as we settle in and fly through the night. 

I pray for Lee, that his mood will even and that he'll enjoy the trip.

I pray that you'll show me how to navigate him and my family. Lord, please show me when I can help, when to speak up and when to keep quiet. Show me ways to make Lee feel accepted and part of things.

I pray for Dad, that he'll feel good and healthy and get the most out of his time with Isabel and Lily. I pray for Mom, same thing.

I pray that we will find You in France, right along with us, that we will know this in our bones.

I pray that I would be selfless and giving, and that I would behave as the woman You made me to be.

The sword of the Spirit goes with me. 

In Your son's precious name I pray,

Amen
