....A
parent desires that his or her child is safe and healthy physically.
Yet, a parent also longs that the child is healthy emotionally.
Emotional well being is crucial for relationships at all levels-God,
church, work, marriage, and family. Damaged and unhealthy
emotions can cause massive problems for a person and his or
her life. This is an area that must be covered in prayer.
