Dads, we need to pray.

Satan “comes only to steal and kill and destroy” (John 10:10) and he seems to do much of that during the spring of the year in Christian schools. Many of our students — your children — are struggling with anxiety and depression and are hearing lies from our culture about substance abuse, gender identity, and sexual activity.  

We know that “we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil  in the heavenly places” (Eph. 6:12). We need to be putting on God’s armor and “praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication (Eph. 6:18).”

For these reasons, I am calling all of us to prayer. Next Tuesday morning, April 23, from 6:30 to 7:30 a.m. I am asking all fathers and grandfathers to come to the CHA auditorium and pray. We will be led in prayer by ten dads as we pray for our families and marriages, our spiritual leadership in our homes, the salvation and spiritual growth of our children, our churches and pastors, and pray against pornography, sexual activity, anxiety and depression, substance abuse, and gender confusion. No program, no speaker, only prayer. You will also be given a prayer card for 30 days of prayer (April 24 to May 23 – last day of school) so that we can all continue to pray together for this last month of school.

Dads, we need to pray.
