Praying for our children


I often don't know how to pray for my girls or how to pray at all. I have little conversations with God throughout the day, but to be honest - most of them are self-serving: keep us healthy, get us home safely, etc. After I read The Shack, my prayers have changed. I've tried to be more intentional and more conversational with God and to pray for more than just my instant needs - more bigger picture, I guess you would say.

I found the link above with specific prayers to say for your children. I think it's great! They are all based on scripture and are about the character traits that we all hope our children to will have---Christ-followers, kind hearted, compassionate and more. Hope that you like it too!
