Most Christian parents pray for their children, but many don't know how to pray effectively and powerfully. Now, from the co-author of A Woman's Guide to Spiritual Warfare and The Spiritual Warrior's Prayer Guide, comes this step-by-step guide to praying faithfully and diligently for precious sons and daughters. The first step is to surrender growing children to the Lord, who longs to partner with parents to raise godly women and men. Then, once parents have invited the Holy Spirit into their child's growth and development, they can pray for their child's specific needs. Readers will learn how to pray for their children's friends, teachers and pastors, and to intercede when their sons or daughters are under spiritual attack. Stepparents and adoptive parents will find prayer guidance for their special circumstances, and mothers and fathers of severely ill children will discover how to pray through the most difficult situations a parent can face. When moms and dads covenant with God to be a household of faith, they will see Him act in their children's lives beyond what they could ever dream!

Authors Susan Alexander Yates and daughter, Allison Yates Gaskins, are mothers themselves and know firsthand the worrisome responsibilities of child-rearing. As parents, they also know the importance of praying for and with their children, whether or not they know how or where to begin.

Organized by day or topic, this book makes it easy for parents to tell God how they're feeling and to ask for his guidance in their lives and the lives of their children.
