"We don't have to be tossed and turned by these winds of change. Our children's lives don't ever have to be left to chance."
"We don't have to pace the floor anxiously, biting our nails, gnawing our knuckles, dreading the terrible twos or torturous teens....Nor do we have to be perfect parents."
The good news is, we can start right now, this very minute to make a positive difference in our child's future.
"At every stage of their lives our children need and will greatly benefit from our prayers. The key is not trying to do it all by ourselbes all at once, but rather turning to the expert parent of all time - our Father God - for help. Then, taking one step at a time, we must cover every detail of our child's life in prayer. There is great power in doing that, far beyond what people imagine. In fact, don't ever under-estimate the power of a praying parent." From Stormie Omartian's The Power of a Praying Parent
After beginning this book, the Lord stirred up a desire in me to share this burden of prayer for my children with other parents.
Out of this desire, came a blog - a become a place where you can come and say a prayer for your children (old or young). To read more and begin to pray with me for our children, click below.
"The battle for our children's lives is waged on our knees. When we don't pray, it's like sitting on the sidelines watching our children in a war zone getting shot at from every angle. When we do pray, we're in the battle alongside them, appropriating God's power on their behalf." (S.O.)
Blessings,

awesome post... so true... ~Kim
You are so correct!! I haven't read this book, but I can see it's a good one. Great idea with the new blog!!
I am in agreement with you. So many prayers for our children.
Did you have a nice break?
i knew your new project would be a special one (cuz you're special like that =]) and it truly is. it will be exciting to see how it evolves though each and every post and the comments that will follow.
sometimes praying for our children is all we can do. it helps me to remember that my children are first and foremost, God's children. He loves them more than i can imagine and wants what's best for them. that's a huge comfort.
thank you, my friend, for all you do and being a blessing to many.
Words of wisdom - Thank you!!

I have always believed this. Good post.
You are so right in doing this. I have prayed for my children since I knew that they existed. I prayed for the spouses that they would one day have. I might add that God has answered each and every prayer. so pray on young mothers, it does work. connie from Texas
Great idea!
I'm back and right along side of you praying for my children and your.
WHat an AWESOME idea. I will stop by often. I believe we have such authority to proclaim life and blessings over our children. I have a book called "Prayers that Avail Much" by Germanine Copeland. There is a morning and evening prayer for each day. I try to read it over my kids often. Today's morning prayer was this: "Listen to the Lord,(insert child's name), for He stands at the door and knocks. If you hear His voice and open the door, He will come in and eat with you, and you with Him. Are you awake? Listen and enjoy the company of the Lord."
Wow! I needed to hear that as much as my kids. Blessings on your new project.
Glory
