The Power of a Praying Parent
By Stormie Omartian

Have you ever been burdened to pray for your child or children in your life and not known where to start? Have you ever had a sleepless night begging God for peace as you struggle over the choices that your child is making? Do you want help voicing your concerns for your child back to the Father but not sure how to say what’s on your heart? Then this book is one that you need to read and also have in your library.

Omartian, having raised three children of her own, writes from personal perspective on the struggle of praying through the stages of your child’s life from birth through adulthood. I love the practical help she gives for praying for your children. Not only does she relate stories from friends and her own personal prayer struggles as they have prayed for their children, but she gives you a starting place. There are sample prayers for you to pray through and learn from as you develop your own prayer life praying for your children. There are also scriptures that she has pulled for you to gain insight and strength from as you pray them over your children.

Here are a sampling of the chapters you will find:

Praying for your child :
· To Feel love and accepted
· Attracting Godly Friends and Role Models
· Rejecting Sexual Immorality
· Finding The Perfect Mate
· Developing A Hunger For The Things of God
· Instilling the Desire to Learn
· Being the Person God Created Them to Be

I believe prayer for your child is one of the most important things that you can do on their behalf. No matter if you are a current prayer warrior for your children or just starting out; this book is a tool that can help you. So go and check it out today.
