09.25.23 with every breath in their sweet bodies….

Your children need your prayers. They really, really do. Not just kind of. But with every breath in their sweet bodies. They need you to pray with yours.

It can be easy to treat prayer as an afterthought but in reality, it just might be the most powerful thing we will ever do to influence their life.

It’s easy to forget that even as little ones, they have struggles in their day to day.

Sure, it may not be how to pay the bills, but in their little hearts, their issue may feel just as important. And certainly as they grow, their issues become just as important as ours.

They need your prayers.

When you’re worried for them, pray first. Process later.

When they are struggling with friends, pray first. Coach them later.

When they are becoming not your favorite tween to hang with, pray first. Correct them later.

When you’re unsure how to parent them, pray, pray, pray.

Pray over their friends.

Pray over their hearts.

Pray over their decision-making.

Pray over their mouth.

Pray over their convictions.

Pray over their health.

Pray over their moods.

Pray over their future spouse.

And last but not least, pray over your ability to respond with Godly love to their struggles in all of the above.

There are many things children can do without. But the prayers of their parents, are just not on that list.

They need your prayer more than you may ever know.

So get to praying.

The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.

James 5:16
