Father please speak to my children & grandchildren's heart. In the fourth watch, before their day starts. As they move about throughout their day. Bring believer's alongside them as they make their way. Only those that are walking in Your truth. The elderly with wisdom and passionate youth. From each of their memory, let it not get away. The reason why Jesus...
