Big stuff

Tonight, while praying at bedtime, Caden asked the Lord that he "be a big piece of the puzzle". I asked him what the puzzle is after we were finished.  He said when Jesus comes back. 

During the past couple of weeks, he's felt like Satan is whispering negative thoughts into his head.  It started with him feeling like he was moving away from Jesus because he is angry with Alyssa a lot.

He's even felt like Satan is wanting him to curse God.  He's cried for us to help him manage his thoughts.  We've sung praise songs, read scripture, and prayed with him. Last week I told him that at Jesus' name, Satan must flee.  He got a lot of satisfaction from that, and I often hear him saying, "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus" under his breath. We've talked about how Satan whispers to everyone - even Jesus when he was in the dessert.  I'm not sure why he's under attack right now.  But we'd appreciate prayer. 

As mom said, God must have big plans for him.  I think so.

That's really cool to see how he wants God to work in his life!
