Repentance. Restoration. Revival.
Day 1: Restoration for Our Youth/Our Children
In Daniel Chapter 1, we see how Daniel and his friends were taken into a foreign culture where the enemy sought to reframe their identity through education, diet, and even their names. Yet, they stood firm in their faith and resolved not to defile themselves with what was offered. This account reminds us that the enemy often works subtly through culture to shape the identity of our youth. Restoration begins when we guide them to understand who God says they are and help them stand firm in His truth. Today, as you pray, ask God to restore the hearts and minds of our children, aligning their identity with His Word.
