Between sibling rivalry, keeping children safe, and teaching
their kids about Jesus, sometimes parents just want to scream for
help!
Well, help is here. Authors Susan Alexander Yates and daughter,
Allison Yates Gaskins, are mothers themselves and know firsthand
the worrisome responsibilities of child-rearing. As parents, they
also know the importance of praying for and with their children,
whether or not they know how or where to begin. With all this in
mind, Yates and Gaskins have creatively written a simple book that
guides parents through thirty-one prayers about down-to-earth
issues they face with their children. Organized by day or topic,
this book makes it easy for parents to tell God how they're feeling
and to ask for his guidance in their lives and the lives of their
children.
Parenting can be overwhelming. Putting the power of prayer to
work would be wonderful--but how and where do you begin?
31 Days of Prayer for My Child helps you nurture the
life-changing habit of talking with God about your family. Simple
activities--like recording your prayers and God's
answers--encourage you to personalize and deepen your prayer time
and realize the benefits of praying for your child.
Read the book through or select the topic you need each day to
focus quickly and easily on your child's particular needs. Either
way, find inspiration for important issues like
- sibling rivalry
- health and safety
- fear of failure and other frustrations in child-raising
- your child's relationships with peers, teachers, family members,
and God
