� Thanking God , for understanding and taking away sins and helping them to live right ( 1 Peter 2:24 ).
� Helping them to know Jesus ’ love and to feel the power within ( Ephesians 3:19 ).
� Trust God to always protect them in their time of need ( Psalm 91:11 , 14 ).
� Teaching them to be honest about sin so that confession is given for forgiveness ( 1 John 1:9 ).
� Giving them the need to go out and spread the Word and tell everyone how wonderful God is ! ( Psalm 150 ).
I think too , about what an investment it is for children to pay homage to His Glory for salvation . Prayers for children can be an investment in your children ’ s lives now and beyond . There ’ s a connection to Him , and we have used modern technology for correspondence among ourselves . Why not minimize those things that tend to shroud our vision and employ the harmful characteristic of idolizing things other than Him ? Meaningful prayer reinforces a life-long spiritual connection between the Heavenly Father , parents , and children . As responsible parents we often pray for our children ’ s healing or physical protection , yet often don ’ t insure the spiritual security we must demand of our progeny . Parents , DO pray that your children have the courage to follow Jesus , study the Bible , understand how obedience is part of the process , and to be wise to stress how talents are used to upgrade and maintain the Kingdom !
I admit not knowing how to pray when I was much younger . Besides that , I felt intimidated attempting to pray in groups as I was shy and introverted . I learned the hard way , and that is allowing guilt and shame to corral me in to do the right thing . From birth , parents should invest in their ( child ) ren ’ s spiritual well-being . Do not discount the newborn who are being protected by God ’ s love as you hold them , imparting the Spirit and introducing them to Agape love ( Matthew 19:14 – 15 ). Parents , no one will pray for you the way you can for your children . Young ones know that YOU are the masters and mistresses of your destiny through prayer . The method to the madness demands that by praying with your child after a sense of discipline , both parents and children experience God ’ s forgiveness and abundant mercy . You will not regret the quality time invested in seeking the higher power through prayer with our children individually and collectively for a return on invested will . ( Psalm 103:17 – 18 ).
In conclusion , greater awareness should be apropos for association to be an assimilated action for continuity . Your children should see you praying regularly as part of a daily regimen . Rare are the times when my family is not involved in morning worship , traveling mercies , and at other times during the day TOGETHER . The key is being models for our children ( 2 Timothy 3:15 – 17 ). As guardian and protector of all of my children , and others entrusted to me , I pray that the Lord continues to have His hand on their shoulders , to adhere to all that is taught to them for understanding the importance of prayer . One day they will pray for me , their future families , and for others that are in need . I would have taught them this , and know that God expected me to do as such . My immediate and latent goals would always be to have them emulate God ’ s character , so that prayers would validate conversations with God with a purpose – without compromise and with much reason . Remember that honest and unpretentious prayer is not formulated , nor a nonsensical ritual for self-adulation . It is the anticipation of God ’ s response to our need to repent as we speak to Him . Moreover , it represents a genuine expression of child-like devotion and faith . Prayers for children , and with children , gives us an opportunity to pass the legacy of a
