Drawing closer to God ... and changing the world ... one prayer at a time
The Role of Faith and Prayer in Blended Families
The Praying Christian Women Podcast Welcomes Sabrina McDonald
We're sailing in uncharted territories with this week's episode of the Praying Christian Women podcast as author Sabrina McDonald joins us to talk about a topic we have never discussed before on the podcast: blended families.
Her book "A Home Built From Love and Loss: Coming Together as a Blended Family" delves into the heartache that almost always precedes blending a family, as she shares her own story of navigating the ups and downs of joining two families together.
Sabrina candidly shares the high highs and low lows she and her husband have experienced during the process of blending their own families, and reveals some of the ways God has met them every step of the way to bring healing and beauty out of tragedy and loss.

Our prayer for you today ...
Lord, we thank you for being the God who sees every part of our lives, especially the unique challenges and joys of blended families. You know the complexities we face—the moments of uncertainty, the struggles for unity, and the longing for peace. Yet, you remain our steady foundation, holding us together when we feel divided or weary.
We ask for your wisdom and grace to guide every parent, step-parent, and child in our blended families. Help us to love one another with the patience and understanding that only comes from you. When tensions rise, let your peace reign. When hearts feel hurt, be our healer.
We pray that you would wrap every family member in your love, creating a bond that reflects your unconditional love. Bring healing where there has been brokenness and joy where there has been sorrow.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
