31 Prayers For Your Child - One Prayer For Each Day of the Month
As we know, the role of parents in nurturing their kids' faith is absolutely priceless. And that's why we're thrilled to pass along to you the "Daily Prayers for Your Children" guide – a wonderful resource to help parents connect with God and lift up their children in prayer. It provides one simple short prayer for each day of the month that they can use over and over again.
We're excited to share this guide with you, knowing that it'll become a valuable tool to support the parents in your church. Share this PFD with the parents in your community on social media, in an email or have printed copies at your church for them to take home. It is for you to use however you want. We hope that you will use it to empower parents to become intentional and confident spiritual guides for their kids.
A Resource That Matters
As children's ministry leaders, we understand parents' vital role in their children's spiritual growth. This guide is more than just a collection of prayers – it's a way to help parents build a strong foundation of faith in their children's lives. When parents pray for their kids, they're not just speaking words into the air but partnering with God to shape their children's hearts and futures.
Encourage parents not just to pray these prayers privately but in front of (and with) their children.
Prayer isn't just about asking for things – it's about building a deep and personal relationship with our Creator. When we pray for our children, we're sharing our hopes, dreams, and concerns about their growth, development, and well-being. It's a beautiful way to show children they are loved and cherished by their parents and by their Heavenly Father.
Unlocking the Potential of Prayer
Here's a glimpse of what parents will find in this guide – a series of prayers that beautifully align with Biblical truths and values:
Salvation: This prayer focuses on the heart's desire for their child to believe in Jesus and welcome Him into their lives.
Love for God: Parents will pray that their child understands the depth of God's love and experiences the love their parents have for them.
Love for Others: We're encouraging parents to pray that their child lives a life of love, guided by the Spirit.
Love for God's Word: Parents will ask God to help their child treasure His Word as something even more valuable than gold.
Biblical Self-esteem: This prayer speaks to parents' hopes for their children to see themselves as unique creations of God.
As you share this guide with the parents in your church, remember that you're offering them a precious opportunity to enrich their children's lives spiritually. You're enabling them to step into their role as primary spiritual influencers, nurturing their children's faith in a powerful and meaningful way.
As you hand over the "Daily Prayers for Your Children" guide to parents, you're giving them more than just a resource – you're giving them a tool to actively participate in their child's spiritual growth. Let's support and encourage them as they embrace this privilege of guiding their children in faith.
