What are some things you wish you would have learned earlier in your Christian walk?  I can think of so many, but I find myself wanting my kids to figure out early on that knowing about God isn’t the same as knowing God. A key ingredient to this is how we communicate with God in prayer.  We’re talking about this and lots more with Sheila Walsh on Pardon the Mess today.  She reminds us that vulnerability is a key component in teaching our kids how to work through the hard stuff they face. Suffering and pain will always exist, but in the middle of it we have the opportunity to point our kids back to God.  Be sure to check out Sheila’s new devotional, Praying Girls Devotional: 60 Days to Shape your Heart and Grow your Faith Through Prayer.  I know you’re going to love this conversation with Sheila Walsh as much as I did!
