home with a heartache

Kim and I are home from the pastors/wives deal. I got back to the church with plenty of time to spare for XStream tonight. We wrapped up our series on sex with our middle school students tonight. Many things are good on the homefront.

But there is a heartache happening.

It seems that every time we go away all hell breaks loose against our family. Someone gets sick. Trouble at school. Unusual emotional meltdowns. The house falls down...well, maybe not that bad. But weird spiritual/physical attacks happen.

I believe that the devil wants to see the marriages and families of pastors fail.

So tonight, before I go to bed, I will be praying through our home, asking the Most High God to bring his power to bear against the forces of darkness.

Psalm 91 is powerful stuff:

If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter, no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home. For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go.
