Here’s a question for mentors….when was the last time you connected with your prayer partner? I hope you can say that you talk to them every week before or after you mentor your child, but since I am also a mentor I know that it is sometimes easy to forget to connect. This Christmas, give your child a gift that is life changing…give them prayers offered by you and your prayer partner. I just read a quote from Jodie Berndt that says, “When you pray for God to work in your children’s lives, you can trust His promise to finish the job.” Your KHUSA child needs that promise. As a mentor, you need that power that prayer can provide.
I was reminded of this as I played a game with my own child that I am sure many of you have played before on your phone or Ipad…Angry Birds. For those of you who have not played, the purpose of this game is to knock over structures with your birds. For a whole year now, I have been perplexed by this game because I couldn’t beat any of the levels even though my seven year old son could! I just didn’t understand why I couldn’t knock over the structures. Well, I just found out that the birds have special powers that you can tap into, which make it MUCH easier to play the game! Why didn’t I know this??? I could have done SO much better if I have tapped in to these powers! Do you see my connection to prayer yet? YOU can go so much farther in your mentoring relationship if you tap in to the power…GOD’S POWER through prayer! Missing out on the special powers in Angry Birds is really not a big deal ( though it was humbling to lose over and over again), but missing out on the power of prayer in your mentoring relationship is a very big deal. Connect with your prayer partner today so they can pray for God’s work in your child’s life!
