School starts
As the school year starts, some parents rejoice, others fear. For those who are cringing, praying, and hoping against hope for the best, here is a scripture to pray: Isa 49:25 KJV “God will contend with him who contends with us, and God will save our children.”
Pray and speak the Word over your children. Claim God’s protection from bullies, both young and old and institutional. Pray God’s best growing and blooming in and around your child. Pray love, truth, and peace onto your child, his colleagues, and even her instructors.
It feels like you are sending a small child into a lions’ den, I know. Remember, however, that due to the Lord’s angels, they did no harm to Daniel.
Then remember also, that Christ is the Lion of Judah, strong and mighty in battle — not with the world’s armaments, but with the strongest of all: truth and love. Love never fails.
Pray. Claim the promises. Cast out fear. Shine out love.
Lessons from Jesus a hit
Jesus teaches us about praying for healing in Matthew 8 a couple of times at least. Last week we considered Matthew 8:16 that clearly indicates Jesus is fulfulling Isaiah 53, in healing people physically.
This seem to be a very popular episode, judging by the jump in podcast subscriptions. Talk to me.
Upcoming is another lesson in praying for healing from Matthew 8; this time from Jesus chat with the centurion. Jesus was impressed with his knowledge of authority. Find out in the upcoming episode how we have authority in prayer.

Practical tips on mentoring youth from Jeff Myers is up this week. I apologize that the Bill Lane interview is not available.

Please pray that someone steps forward to help with audio editing.
