A Practical Guide for Praying Parents

Instead of an Anxious Parent, Become a Praying Parent.

Any Christian mother and father, or grandmother and grandfather, desires what is spiritually best for their children. However, knowing how to pray for them can often be as challenging as knowing what to pray. Without proper guidance, our prayers are prone to become dry, repetitive lists of requests. With the help of Dr. Erwin Lutzer, you can learn how your best, loving intentions can become enriching, effective intercessions for your children or grandchildren. Trade your lists of requests for Scripturally-based prayers that will immerse you in God's promises and will. In A Practical Guide for Praying Parents, Dr. Lutzer addresses:
-How to pray when children have hardened hearts
-How to pray for children who have become wayward prodigals
-How to become a prayer warrior who prays in the face of spiritual warfare

This small guide will help you pray scriptural prayers that both bring you closer to God and bless your children. You'll also find daily Biblical prayers crafted by Dr. Lutzer himself to help you begin your prayer journey. With your love for your children, your desire to help, and Dr. Lutzer's guidance, your prayers can become effective ministry in the lives of those you care for the most.

‘A compact but power-packed book on prayer. The title suggests it is for parents praying for their children, but the concepts are applicable for all of us in praying for friends, family, and our world. In the introduction, Dr Lutzer asks if we love our children. He then responds that, if we do love them, we can prove it by praying for them. He shares suggestions for effectively praying, starting with “Lord, change me” and going to “Lord, change their heart.” If you love someone, pray for them. This book shows you how. I did not purchase this book but received it as part of the launch team. However, I am so glad to have had the opportunity to read it and I definitely recommend it to anyone interested in prayer and praying more effectively.’ Peggy M
