LIFE QUESTION

How can I pray for my children?

Interceding on behalf of your sons and daughters

As a parent, one of the most significant and influential roles you play is that of being a faithful prayer warrior on behalf of your child. Because of the closeness of your relationship, you can know your child as no one else knows him and discern when he most needs prayer support.


There are four key areas of prayer we can focus on:

  • prayers of dedication,

  • prayers of blessing,

  • prayers of intercession, and

  • prayers for God’s hedge of protection around your child.

Speaking of prayer, don’t forget to register for our Men’s Prayer Summits next month—either in-person or online! We’ve also chosen these 6 free messages to help prepare your hearts as we look toward the U.S. elections, the increasing conflict around the world, and so much more that needs intercession.
