Welcome to the Prayer Scripture Sheets Printables! The beauty of prayer is that you can use this direct line to speak to God! The Benefit of Prayer (Jeremiah 33:3) I find it so comforting when I think about the fact that we serve a God who we can call on and he will answer us. God wants to help us and is ready to answer our prayers. In fact, Jeremiah 33:3 invites us; Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know. Not only does God hear our prayers, but he also answers them! In fact, he is the only person capable of helping us with our troub ..read more

I want to share something with you; despite all the warnings I received when I was dating my husband, I still somehow thought that the “honeymoon phase” of marriage meant that we would experience fewer problems. I was so sure that since both of us are Christians, we would have fewer problems in our marriage. Yes, I realized a long time ago how naive my thinking was. Maybe you thought the same way? Let me say right now that love plays a very important role in marriage. In fact, the bible says they “love covers a multitude of sins.” (1 Peter 4:8) But I want to let you know what will really ..read more

“Read your bible, pray every day!” Are you familiar with that chorus that we sang as young children? The sentiment behind this song is so important: we should prioritize reading our Bibles and praying daily. To be honest though, as I grew up, I realized that it wasn’t that easy. From high school onward, it seems as if my 24 hour days have been reduced to 12 hours. Where does the time go? How do I have so much on my plate and not enough energy? Do you feel the same some days? Sometimes we all need a little help in getting back on track when it comes to reading our Bibles daily. Let me give you ..read more

In the previous post, I shared with you a dilemma someone in the Scriptural Gems community is facing. Her loved one wants to put being a Christian on hold until she is older. This is something many Christian household face. Their younger children and stepchildren, particularly teens, want to have “fun” now and then live their life for Christ later. Unfortunately, “later” may be too late for some. For others, they never find their way back to God. How can you help them as a parent? In part one of the What if Your Stepchild No Longer Wants to be a Christian series, we discussed the importance of ..read more

That’s a heavy question isn’t it? What would you do if your stepchild came to you or your spouse and told you that they no longer wanted to be a Christian? This exact question was brought to me by one of my community members. At first, I was really nervous about responding to this question as the result would have a major impact on their lives. With a lot of prayer and research however, I was able to assist her. I want to share with you the same tips and advice I gave to her. It is my hope that they will help you if you find yourself in the same situation. I also realize that due to the impor ..read more

Summer is quickly approaching and there’s still so much to plan. My stepdaughter will be out of school soon and preparing to go off to college. I still can’t believe it and neither can her dad! I know exactly what my summer will include. Helping my stepdaughter pack the essentials; only those items that can fit in a tiny dorm room. Challenge accepted! If you have school-age stepchildren, you will have other considerations: What will they do for fun? Will there be any family summer trips? Do you have enough food in the house for almost 3 months of them being home? Do you have a plan to make sur ..read more
