“We prayed to our God and posted a guard day and night.”Nehemiah 4:9
Give It to God… Then Get Up
Pray like it depends on Him. Work like He asked you to. (He did.)
Somewhere between “I’ve tried everything” and “I’m just going to pray about it,” a lot of Christian parents quietly quit. Not on purpose. It just feels like praying is all that’s left. Here’s the thing: Nehemiah prayed and posted a guard. Moses prayed at the Red Sea and God said, “Why are you crying out to Me? Tell the people to move.” Faith is one hand. The work is the other. This game is about using both.
- Eight real barriers, toddlers to adult kids.
- For each one, fill two hands: how you’ll pray and what you’ll do.
- Empty either hand and you get stuck. Use both and you move.
- End with a Prayer + Plan card for your actual kid.
