      This was an excellent resource. In praying for your spouse you are reminded of your own sin and humbled by it.
    • 4/5
      This is an amazingly powerful book. Don't get turned away by thinking she is telling you "how" to pray. I was blessed by reading the prayers, and understanding the truth that was being revealed. Sometimes we have to look deeper at ourselves and pray more for our spouses.
    • 5/5
      Don't be turned off by the cheesy cover. This book helped turn my attitude as a wife from vengeful and vindictive to understanding and forgiving. I pray through a prayer a day (in theory, in reality I get through it once a year or so), but it helps me really think of what is good for my husband.

    How Do I Begin?

    Welcome to the wonderful and fulfilling task of becoming an effective praying parent. While it is easy for every mom and dad to have the desire to pray for their child, knowing how to pray specifically can often be a challenge. That’s because each child is unique. What works for one may not work for another. And with each age, there are new challenges and concerns. At one point they are too young to tell you what is going on in their lives, at another they don’t want to tell you what is going on in their lives. And once they reach adulthood, you never really know what is going on in their lives. Prayer is the only solution. The good news is that God has given you the authority to intercede powerfully for your child no matter what age he (she) is or whether he (she) lives with you or not. And He will give you the revelation you need to pray on target. This workbook is intended to assist you in that.

    What You’ll Need

    This Prayer and Study Guide is divided into a 31-week plan for use in personal or group study. You will need to have my book The Power of a Praying Parent to read along with this. The answers to many of the questions will be found in it. You will also need a Bible. I have quoted the New King James Version here, but you can use whatever translation you want. Just make sure the Bible you have is easy for you to understand, and one you feel free to write in.

    About Your Answers

    Many of the questions in this Prayer and Study Guide will have to be answered separately for each individual child. It would be beneficial to keep your responses in a notebook or journal. The answers are not for anyone else to read, and you will not be tested on them. They are to help you determine how to pray specifically for each child. This kind of prayer notebook for your children is wonderful to keep and look back on years later. You will be amazed at how strategically the Lord directed you to pray and how He answered those prayers.

    Try to answer all the questions and follow the directions to the best of your ability. Even if your child is an infant, or he (she) is grown and has been gone from your home for some time, God will reveal things to you about him (her) with regard to the questions. Try to write something for each entry. If nothing else, write what is in your heart regarding that question. When instructed to write out a prayer, it doesn’t have to be a lengthy one. Two or three sentences will cover the subject of focus.

    How to Proceed

    In group study, it’s good to follow the order of this book so that everyone will literally be on the same page when they come together each week. In individual study, you do not have to proceed in the same order if there are more pressing concerns that need to be addressed immediately. In any case, however, Chapter One and Chapter Two of The Power of a Praying Parent should be read before proceeding on to any others.

    In a Group

    When studying in a group, read the appropriate chapter in The Power of a Praying Parent and answer the questions in the corresponding chapter here in the Prayer and Study Guide on your own. When the group comes together, the leader will go over the questions and discuss what insights God has given each person as he or she feels led to share them. This will be the perfect time to pray as a group for your children. Group intercession for children is very powerful, so take advantage of every opportunity to pray for them in this way.
