Parents of teens today face overwhelming challenges. Whether a
model child out in a dangerous world or a rebellious maverick who's
breaking mom and dad's hearts, every teen needs prayer. But where
do parents start?
Susan Yates offers parents a clear-cut and simple plan for praying
for their teens. 31 Days of Prayer for My Teen helps parents focus
on the needs of their teens and pray effectively for things
like
o moody, unloveable, or rebellious teens
o friends and role models
o temptation and decision making
o sibling rivalry and anger
o self-centeredness and doubt
o and much more.
Each prayer includes Scripture readings and journal questions for
more in-depth study.
Have teenagers? Don't panic!
It's no secret that parenting teenagers is often overwhelming. We
wonder, Where have I gone wrong? Is it too late? Will God hear me?
Does he really care about the nitty-gritty issues my teen is
facing?
Using simple truths and biblical promises, Susan Yates illustrates
how God cares about the struggles and choices confronting your
teen. Addressing thirty-one common concerns parents have, Susan
will help you verbalize your worries and turn them into specific
prayers for your teen. At the end of these daily entries you can
personalize your prayer, write out a Scripture promise, and choose
a character trait of God to focus on throughout the day.
If you feel inadequate to guide your children through their
difficult teenage years, you are not alone. Full of encouragement
and support, this book helps you take each problem to God and trust
him with your worries.
