Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.~ 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Never stop praying, parents! Pray with your children whenever you possibly can. Pray together in the morning when your day starts, at meal times, when they have owies or hurt feelings or are worried, and before they go to bed. Pray with them when they aren’t feeling well. Say prayers of thanksgiving when all is well. Have them pray. How precious it is to hear the sincere faith-filled prayer of a little child!
Most of all, parents, I want to encourage you to pray for your children. We can do our very best to train and teach our kiddos, but God is the only One who can truly bring about change in their hearts. Sometimes we just need to stop preaching at our kids, and start really praying for them.
Prayer really does change everything!
Amen!!
