#59 God answering prayers, dating as a single parent and ruthlessly eliminating hurry

We kick off this week, by looking at a question we often ask 'Has God answered our prayer?' and explore some alternatives. In the Q and A section, Rachel explores a question from a single parent about how to frame for their child their relationship journey as they start dating. You can watch the Facebook Live videos about boyfriends and girlfriends at parentingforfaith.org/post/boyfriends-and-girlfriends-facebook-live . The wildcard section this week is a 'book that you don't have time to read'. Anna reviews John Mark Comer's 'The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry' and shares some nuggets of truth that she gleaned from it. Questions for individual reflection or to discuss with others: - When did you last refer to God 'answering prayer'? What did you mean by that? - Whether you are single or married, do you share with your child(ren) anything about your experience of dating? Are there aspects of that you might want to frame for them? - Do you feel like your life is hurried? What helps you and your family slow down, simplify or take a Sabbath?
