"The Power of a Prayer Map"
Praying for our children is one of the greatest things we can do for them. It is more important than paying for their college, sending them money, or buying them gifts. Parents, praying for your children is powerful. Your millennial needs your prayers. He or she may not ask you to pray, but your son or daughter desperately needs your prayers.
I (Jason) remember vividly a picture my mom placed on my bedroom bookshelf. It depicted a father kneeling at the bedside of his son. The father’s face is buried in his hands, signifying he is interceding for his son. Behind him is an arched window with the splendor of a shining angel. It’s a remarkable picture that shows the power of a praying father and the intense warfare that rages over the souls of children. My mom put it in my room to remind me that she and my dad were praying for me.
Several years after my mother’s death, I was lying in bed. It was late, but I couldn’t sleep. I’d been having nightmares and felt under attack by the evil one. I was scared to tell anyone but shared it with Joe, one of my older brothers, who then shared it with my dad unbeknownst to me. I remember distinctly falling into a deep sleep, and then being awakened by what sounded like whispering prayers.
What I didn’t realize was those sounds coming up the staircase were the sounds of prayers coming from my dad. He was interceding for me! That morning my dad and I talked about spiritual warfare and why he stayed up praying for me. It changed my outlook on prayer.
Your prayers matter. Your prayers are mighty weapons used on behalf of your children to fight off Satan. Your prayers have the power to protect your children and provide them with opportunity after opportunity to grow in their relationship with God and with you. It’s disheartening to hear from parents who lack the confidence to pray bold prayers. We know of many, and we identify with those who struggle as well. But we have good news for you: the Bible is filled with many amazing prayers. All you need to do is take some of these prayers recorded in the Bible, learn to follow their patterns, and adapt them as guides for praying for your children.
