Praying for your children is the most powerful way you can care for them. Most times your heart will naturally overflow in prayer for them. And even when they’re causing trouble or your patience is wearing thin, a quick prayer will calm your nerves and soothe your children. You’ll be amazed at the huge difference prayer will make in the lives of your little—and big—ones. Ask God to show you how to let your precious children know that after Him and your husband, they are more important than all the other people in your life.
Be ready to show love. Set aside time each day to pray for your kiddos. And don’t forget to pray for them when they’re around. That lets them know you and God love them. It also helps them feel more secure and models prayer.
Praying for your kids is some of the best time you’ll ever invest. Prayer is a powerful privilege!
Jesus, protect these young lives You’ve placed in my care. Help me be patient, calm, loving, and supportive. Open their hearts to You. Amen.

I know from personal experience that living a life of prayer is not easy. Our lives are filled with a multitude of activities that tend to crowd out time for prayer. How many times have you been guilty of telling someone that you would pray for them? Your heart genuinely yearned to be a part of bringing their need before the throne of God. And then what happened? I’m sure that, if you’re like me, more times than you would like to admit, you forgot about the promise to pray before you rounded the corner of the church building! Why? Because you didn’t write the request down.

Paul knew the importance of strategic prayer in his own life and the lives of others. And he knew what to pray for. His prayers focused on spiritual issues. He knew that if those he was praying for were spiritually mature, they could handle anything.
