Jesus is praying for your children and He invites you to join Him. Recall an image of Jesus you’ve likely seen—Jesus, on His knees, praying. Imagine leaning in to listen to what He is praying and you hear Jesus speaking your child’s name. Experience Jesus’ heart for your children as you declare their freedom and passion to love the Lord and their family, claim Bible promises for your children’s future, and intercede for your children’s spiritual growth and witness. God has given you your children for a purpose. Support them through prayer and see the benefits in your own life.
