[QUOTE="Jim Daly with Paul Batura, post: 1825"] Author Jodie Berndt has heard from hundreds, if not thousands, of parents through the years who struggle with praying for their children, as she did: [LIST] [*]They feel inadequate. [*]They believe prayer to be a natural part of the parenting process, but rarely feel like their prayers “pack a punch.” [*]Jodie even worried that her proud or anxious prayers might elbow God out of the picture. [/LIST] The more familiar Jodie became with the Bible, the more Scripture reshaped her perspective and her desires – and the more her prayers lined up with God’s will The book of James says that “The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working” ([URL='https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James+5%3A16&version=ESV']James 5:16[/URL]). That includes the prayers of faithful parents who seek God on behalf of their children. Jodie teaches three truths about praying for your kids: [LIST=1] [*]You never stop being a parent, nor do you ever stop wanting God’s best for them. [*]You will never stop praying for your children. [*]Prayer is work. It’s a delight, and it is a relationship, but it is also a discipline that we must make time for every day. [/LIST] Praying effectively for your children is the topic of our Focus on the Family Broadcast “[URL='https://www.focusonthefamily.com/episodes/broadcast/Praying-Scripture-Over-Your-Child’s-Life-pt1']Praying Scripture Over Your Child’s Life[/URL],” one of our “Best of 2021” broadcasts.
