praying for our children

Sometimes I am at a loss of how to pray for my children. Beyond praying for their salvation, some days I get stuck. However, recently I came across a Moms In Touch flier. I don't know much about the organization, however appreciate the examples they give regarding Moms praying scripture for their children specifically.

Let's start the new year off right and make the commitment to daily pray for our children or grandchildren.

Place your child's name in these Scriptures...
