June 29, 2008 Family Prayer How important is a parent’s prayer for his/her children? Parents are to pray for their children’s spiritual as well as physical health and well-being. Parents are to ask God to help guide their children in all that they say and do. Parental prayer should be a daily reminder to parents that God has entrusted them with the rearing and training of their children. Parental prayer is an integral part of the loving relationship parents have for their children. Praying for your children is not a privilege that we have as parents it is a necessity. Our children live in a tough world. Each day our children are subjected to literally thousands of offensive images and words. Our children also face an enormous amount of peer pressure to become part of what is considered normal by the world’s standards. Without prayer our children will not be able to stand against the insurmountable odds they will face from childhood until they leave this world. There are several other reasons we as parents need to pray for our children; No one else knows our children as well as we do so no one else can pray for our children like we can. No one else but you may be praying for you children, so if you do not pray who will? It will increase your awareness of what your children are doing. It will help you talk to them about the what God desires for them to have as His children It will give them comfort to know that they are loved and cared for by you their parents
