A Moment with Joni Eareckson Tada

Pray Over Your Children

Episode Summary

Pray for the God of hope to fill the hearts of all young people.

Episode Transcription

Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. And in countries like Romania, many parents with special-needs children need help, but often times, their own relatives and friends turn a blind eye to their plight. Thankfully, Simona, the mother of little Alexia who can’t walk, did not turn a blind eye to her daughter’s needs. Filled with hope, Simona prayed the way of Romans 15, “Lord [she prayed], grant Alexia to overflow with hope.” Well, the Lord answered that prayer when our Wheels for the World team provided little Alexia with a wheelchair. For the very first time, Alexia is able to sit up and face the world head-on: she has hope, a promising future, and an assurance that God is faithful. So, parents out there? May I encourage you to pray over your children? Pray for the God of hope to fill the hearts of your young ones. And then, visit joniandfriends.org to learn more about Wheels for the World and its outreach to children.
