As we have looked at the family and the roles and responsibilities of fathers, mothers, and children, it can be overwhelming. We wonder how we can possibly survive, let alone thrive, in a world that is hostile to the family. The answer comes to us from the Lord – He calls us to go to Him! Our hope is in the Lord, who redeems His people and gives them strength. We neglect the power of prayer to our detriment. In the account of the Canaanite woman who comes to Jesus, we see a mother who knows that she can’t save her daughter, only Jesus can. So she goes to Jesus and will not let go. Would that we would have such confidence in “Prayer: the Hope of the Family.” (Matthew 15:21-28)
