This weekend at JBC I preached about the incredible, amazing, power that God has given to parents through much prayer. When we pray for our kids everyday God works in their life doing things that we could never do. We can accomplish much greater change in their life through prayer than anything else that we do. In order to be faithful at daily praying for our kids we really do need a prayer journal where we can write their story as we shape it through our praying. I have a photo/journal App for my iPad that I can put lots of pictures in and type in as well. I spend 15 minutes each evening praying for my 8 kids, 6 son in laws, daughter in law, and 22 grandkids. 15 minutes doesn’t seem that long, but done daily 365 days a year it makes a huge difference in their lives. I pray that God will work in their life and produce the character of God in them, I pray that God will protect them from the devil, I pray that God would fill them with a knowledge of His will for their life, I pray that they wouldn’t sin and I pray that God would meet all of their needs.
