Thank Him for how he has helped you through the crazy times in this world and thank Him that someday every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord!

Praying for your family:

22.  Pray today for the members of your immediate family. Pray for your mom and dad and any brothers or sisters you have. Pray for their relationship with God. Pray that they will seek God and follow Him with their whole lives! Pray for your relationship with each one of them. Pray that you will treat each one of them the way that God wants you to!

23. Pray today for your grandparents, aunts and uncles, and cousins. Pray for each one of them to have a personal relationship with God. Pray for any health or financial needs they may have. Pray for their relationships with one another and with you.

24. Pray today for any problems your family is currently facing. What is causing your family to worry? Ask God to take care of it! Ask God to give you all His peace through whatever is going on. Is everything going great? Spend time thanking God for that!

Praying for the Fruit of the Spirit:

28. Pray today for the fruit of JOY in your life! What does it mean to have joy? Ask God to show you how to live in His JOY — no matter what is happening in your life.

29. Pray today for the fruit of PEACE in your life! Ask God to show you what it means to have His PEACE in your life.

Work on memorizing the fruit of the spirit. Use this song to help:

End of the Month Reflection:

30. Think back over this past month. How did you see God answer prayer this month? How was your prayer life this past month? How did you do with your New Year’s Goals? Spend time today thanking God for helping you grow this past month, and ask Him to help you continue to grow in the next month.

Service Day:

31. End this month with a service project. Since it is Sanctity of Human Life Month, consider doing something special for your local Pregnancy Resource Center. One thing you could do is make a baby kit. Fill a basket with diapers, wipes, and clothing items for the Center to give to a new mom!

A Letter From Jerusalem

January 2015 Prayer Calendar for Children

Happy New Year!

One of the goals I have for my own family this year is for us to grow closer to Jesus each day.  I pray that I can look back at 2015 as a year of incredible spiritual growth — both personally and as a family.  I pray that I will take advantage of every opportunity to share Jesus with my kids and that I will be intentional about helping my kids grow in their relationships with Jesus Christ.

I’m pretty sure that you share those goals, too.

To help us all reach those goals, I will be posting monthly prayer calendars throughout 2015, as well as Fun Family Bible Times and Bible reading plans.  (If you haven’t yet seen the New Year’s Bible Reading Plans for children, check them out here:  https://cherigamble.com/2014/12/28/new-years-bible-reading-plan-for-independent-readers/ — independent readers, or https://cherigamble.com/2014/12/28/new-years-bible-reading-plan-for-young-children/ — younger children.)

I also have a special commitment that I have taken on to pray for my children every day this year, and I am challenging you to make that same commitment.  Follow this link for more details: https://cherigamble.com/2014/12/29/365-days-of-praying-for-your-children-january-2015/

One more thing:  I would love it if you would like my facebook page, follow me on twitter, or follow this blog and make sure you don’t miss out on any of the resources I will be sharing this year.

May God help each one of us reach our goals in 2015!
