One of the things I was privileged to do this month was to work alongside our children's ministry director in preparing for our church's upcoming Baby Dedication.
As part of our work, Praying with Purpose for our Children was developed. This is a brand new booklet just for parents, and its focus is PRAYER.
Prayer is a remarkable thing!
It is a wonderful gift from God that provides us with many benefits.
Prayer is also our job (Lamentations 2:19) and our weapon in battle (Ephesians 6:12).
As believers in God, we know the importance of prayer. Yet, even knowing its importance, sometimes we struggle as we face various roadblocks.
One of the likely roadblocks parents of infants or young children face is that of busyness. With so many responsibilities and demands on their time, it is often more than a struggle to find even a few minutes to pray.
Another common roadblock is not knowing what to pray. A young mama finally manages to grab a few moments to quiet herself before the Lord, and, wouldn’t you know it, her mind goes totally blank!
Parents, no matter the age of your children, in those times when you need to navigate roadblocks like those mentioned above, I pray this little booklet will be a treasured resource. Along with other helpful tidbits, this booklet contains 52 weekly prayer prompts. Already gathered for you in a convenient and concise format, the prompts provide specific and Bible-based starters to help in your important work of praying for your children.
