I don’t want any weeds in my family. I want “mine” to shine like the Son! Now that Mom has graduated to heaven, I’m the “matriarch” of this family, and as the matriarch, I must step up my prayers for every member. I must pray daily. Fervently. Without ceasing and always holding to hope. I cling to the promise of James 5:16 that “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” I might not know God’s will concerning every prayer I offer, but when it comes to salvation, I know it’s His will that none should perish, so I will pray!
