Prayer is THE most important thing we can do for our children. We can learn all kinds of parenting techniqes, styles and discipline but without prayer we have nothing. Prayer is our life line with our LORD and we need to use it for our children. We live in a day and age where everyone wants our children. The culture, peers, and most of all Satan. Eighty five percent of children who grow up in Christian homes do not stay in church once they are grown. We (God's people) are losing our children to the world and we are losing them by masses. This can not be acceptable, we don't have to give up to the enemy-our children belong to the Lord and we need to give them to him completely. Prayer is the best way to do this.
Pray for your children- make times specifically to pray for them, maybe your shower time, your drive to work, before you go to bed, anytime you do the same thing everyday and that way you will remember.
Pray over them at night, go lay your hands on them while they sleep and pray God's will be done in their lives, pray that he protects them, guides them and brings them closer to him!
Keep a prayer journal and make days that are just for your children or grandchildren. Even if you have adult children that do not have a personal walk with him. Maybe you were not saved when they were little or didn't have the walk you have not with Christ and you have regrets. It is NEVER too late to pray for them-Pray God brings them back, that he makes up for the time lost and don't give up. You never know when God will use you or bring someone in their lives at the right time to lead them to HIM!
