During this weekend’s talk, Lori and i mentioned 12 prayers we pray for our children.  They’re taken from the Motherwise material by Denise Glenn.  I encourage you to pray daily for your children!  Here’s a list of the prayers, with Scriptural basis for them…

1. That they will know Christ as Savior early in life. (Ps. 63:1, II Tim. 3:15)
2. That they will have a hatred for sin.  (Ps. 97:10)

4. That they will be protected from the evil one in each area of their lives: spiritual, emotional, physical. (Jn. 17:15)
5. That they will have a responsible attitude in all their interpersonal relationships.  (Dan. 6:3)
6. That they will respect those in authority over them.  (Rm. 13:1)
