I've been asked to lift our next youngest grandchild up, that he will indeed hear God's voice confirming the family's call to Nicaragua. Feeling led to I Peter I read the following in the 2nd chapter:
"4Come to Him—the living stone— rejected by people, but accepted by God as chosen and precious. 5Like living stones, let yourselves be assembled into a spiritual house, a holy order of priests who offer up spiritual sacrifices that will be acceptable to God through Jesus, the Liberating King. 6For it says in the words of the prophet Isaiah, See here—I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone, chosen and precious; Whoever depends upon Him will never be disgraced.* (Isaiah 28:16)" (emphasis and italics mine)

I have recorded a brief prayer for each of our 11 grandchildren in my public prayer journal, taking time to quietly listen for how God might want me to pray. What I desire most for each of them is that they will seek God with all their hearts, souls, minds and strength...that God will be first in their lives...that the struggles they come against as they muddle through their teen-years will be character building and prepare them for their work on God's behalf.
