10 Days of Prayers for ParentsSample

Plugging In

When building something complex like a house, you wouldn’t choose only hand tools that depend on your muscles to do the job. You’d also choose power tools that plug into an electrical power supply. Then you could do the work effectively and efficiently.

Is there anything more complex than parenting? And is God not our power source? With His help, we can parent much more effectively than we ever could on our own. One of the greatest ways to plug into God’s power is through prayer. Through faithful and consistent prayer, we can find wisdom and guidance for parenting and achieve far greater results in the lives of our children than any words we might speak or lessons we might teach.

Commit to praying daily for your needs as a parent and for your children.
