Sample Prayers:

Dear Father in Heaven, thank You for giving me sweet rest. As I kneel each morning and give the new day into Your hands, I feel so free, so light. As I go about my day knowing that You will fight, I rest—all I need to do is work and trust. I know that being at rest in You is one of the greatest gifts I can offer my children. Amen.

Dear Father: As I rock the cradle of our little ones, may it be a fruitful experience because of   You. As our children grow older, may they have a true desire to live a life of denying self, the world, and its lusts. May the children find it easy to follow us as we follow You. Amen.
