Praying Over Your Kids

In a world where we are quick to reach for fixes from Instagram ads and choose to seek parenting advice found everywhere, but God - we must seriously urge our hearts to be engaging with God while raising our kids.

I truly believe I am here today because of the prayers of my mom. I am a living example of how a parent’s prayer can move the heart of God and forever impact the life of a kid.

Although prayer is such a key part in our relationship with The Father, I am constantly meeting believers who share the same sentiments. “I’m scared to pray out loud.” “I don’t pray enough.” “I don’t really know what to say to Him.” If this is you, don’t be ashamed. Instead, be hungry towards cultivating and refining this part of your relationship with God starting now. Firstly, for your own intimacy with Him. Second, to shape and leave a legacy for generations.

It’s never too late to get on your knees and begin petitioning Heaven over the lives of your kids. Here are 3 resources outside of God’s Word that I personally love and use to help build on my understanding of prayer. These are great resources whether you are just getting started or you have prayed a thousand prayers.
