Head-to-Toe Prayers to Cover Your KidsSample

Parenting Through Prayer

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to parenting, but there is ONE THING; one tool that is essential and effective for parenting ALL kids . . .

PRAYER.

But when we get busy (and life with kids is always busy!), our prayer life often suffers. We rush out the door in the morning or collapse into bed at night without pausing to pray. It’s so easy to forget to connect our hearts to God through prayer.

Philippians 4:6-7 (NLT) says, “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. THEN you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.”

We pray, and THEN we experience God’s peace, protecting our hearts and minds from worry and fatigue. But where do we start? And how does this prayer promise apply to parenting?

For the next several days, we will cover our kids with prayers from their heads to their toes. Because when worries plague our mind, questions loom, and managing all the things seems like too much to handle, we can present our thoughts and fears to God with confidence that He hears us. And we can trust that we’ve done one very good thing for our kids every day when we’ve talked with their loving, heavenly Father about them.

Come back tomorrow to pray the first head-to-toe prayer for kids over their MIND!
