Pray Big Prayers for Your Little Ones

How do we pray for our children when the wellspring of words runs dry?  How do we faithfully lift them before the Lord with confidence that our prayers match the desires of His heart?  When we’re not sure of how to pray, God’s Word enables us to stand in agreement with him and lift our children before his throne with confidence.

As a parent, I long to pray for my kids with devoted faithfulness.  I long to stand in agreement with my Savior and pray bold and powerful prayers for my kids.  But sometimes I get stuck.  Sometimes I can’t find the words.  Paul’s words to the Colossian church offer eight direct spiritual truths to pray over my children.  Offering these prayers for my kids daily has centered my focus and blessed my prayer life . . .

To read about these prayers for our children, join me at my dear friend DeVonne White’s blog, A Scriptured Heart.  DeVonne is a gifted leader and writer, and her passion for the Lord is contagious!  It’s an honor to share my words with her readers this week!

I’m passionate about equipping others to encounter God in powerful and life-changing ways. When I’m not writing, you’ll find me hiking, jogging, exploring wild places with my three young children and husband, leading small groups, and mentoring younger women. A certified special education teacher, I am on leave from the classroom for a season of chasing frogs and playing in creeks with my little ones. Most of all, the compassionate love of Jesus has forever ravished my heart, and I'm emphatic about making his love known to the world.
