Agreeable

Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven. Matthew 18:19  

Jesus’ words. He must have had an “agreeable” character—one that didn’t rebel against His Father—and didn’t sass His mother. Then He taught His disciples that if they agree about something, ask Him and His Father would take care of it. Nice arrangement. So can you agree about something with someone? If it is in God’s will—not just that you want to win the lottery—ha ha—then ask Jesus and God the Father will take care of it for you.  

Training Tip – Have a three-legged race with your children. Quietly tell each child of a two person team whose legs are tied together where to run or walk—but tell them to go to different places. Ready, Set, Go! Of course they will be falling over. Laugh together and explain that they have to be a team and head for the same goal—they have to agree to go to the same place. Again …Ready, Set, Go! Now, agreeing on the same goal and working together they’ll make it to the end of the race. This illustrates the idea of agreeing with others. Talk about how that can apply to prayer and asking God together for the same thing.  

Lord God, together my friends and I are agreeing and asking that You hear our prayers for our children and grandchildren. Help them to develop a strong self-esteem that is rooted in the realization that they are Your children, God. Your creation—created like Your Son, Jesus (Ephesians 2:10).
