PRAYER IS OUR POWER SOURCESample

A Great Prayer for Your Children

We need to pray for our children. For many years my wife has prayed a prayer in scripture for our three sons. Here are some things for you to try:
• Pray that, one, they will increase in the knowledge of God. Most parents' greatest hope for their children is that they be happy, but a fulfilled life comes from knowing God. Without God, there is a nagging emptiness. Lots of people know about God, but knowing Him personally is different. We all know a lot about our nation’s president, but only a few know him personally.
• Pray that our children live a worthy life. That their lives have an impact for good. That they be people of trustworthy character.
• Pray that they’re strengthened in God’s power. The world and evil influences will seek to pull our children down. They need God’s power to be strong and resist temptation and do the right thing.
• And thank God for each child. They are a unique creation of God.
We all need to pray for our children. I hope these thoughts help.
