Praying the Scriptures for Your Children 20th Anniversary Edition: Discover How to Pray God's Purpose for Their Lives

by Jodie Berndt, Audrey Roloff (Foreword by)

Overview

There is no need we will face in parenting—or that our kids will confront in their lives—that God hasn't already thought of and provided for in his Word. But where do we even begin?

Bible teacher and author Jodie Berndt has been there too. Drawing on the life-changing power of God's Word, this expanded 20^th anniversary edition of Jodie's bestseller Praying the Scriptures for Your Children teaches you how to pray for all aspects of your child's life, including:

• Your child's identity
• Your child's health and safety
• Your child's use of technology
• Your child's faith
• Your child's future
• . . . and so much more

With her signature warmth and humor, Jodie reminds us that there can be no greater privilege than partnering with God through our prayers to accomplish his best purposes in the lives of our children—let Praying the Scriptures for Your Children show you the way.

Praise for Praying the Scriptures for Your Children:

"Using the Scriptures as a framework for my prayers has been incredibly fruitful for me. Jodie's book has given me an extremely practical and intentional way to pray for my children. You will find yourself being led by the Spirit as you pray God's promises over the people you love."

—Emily Maynard Johnson, former Bachelorette and New York Times bestselling author of I Said Yes
