“PRAISE FOR Praying the Scriptures for Your Children It’s obvious to any well-meaning parent that our children need our care, our guidance and wisdom, our love, and our discipline—but do we remember how desperately they need our prayers as well? It can be tempting to put prayer on the back burner amidst the demands of parenting, but Jodie Berndt reminds us that the Lord works mightily in our kids’ lives as we intercede for them. What’s more, he has provided us with a feast of prayer “prompts” within the very pages of God’s Word.”
“for Your Children comes alongside us to enliven and make specific our prayers for our children and our families. With prayer as natural as breathing, Berndt reminds us again and again of the power of God’s Word for prayer, peace, and healing. A mighty book with mighty power!”
“With worn, ear-marked pages, this book has traveled with me across state lines, and it has found a home on my bedside table. I’ve gifted copies to scores of friends. This book continues to bring me back to the best parenting strategy I know—prayer. I will revisit it again and again and again.”
“Many mornings, I’ll find my husband using Jodie’s books to pray for our five boys. What a gift to see our boys’ earthly father talking to their heavenly Father on their behalf. Praying the Scriptures for Your Children has enabled us to witness the immeasurable power of prayer in our children’s lives, and it will do the same thing for your family!”
“If I could choose only one book to help me pray for my children, this is it! Not only has Jodie given us a rich treasure of true stories, practical prayers, and relevant Scriptures for our children, but a surprise awaits. In reading this, I found my own confidence in God growing. RUN and get this book for moms, dads, and grandparents.”
“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.”
“I have a long list of hopes and dreams for my boys. Slowly I’ve learned to trade that list for the good that God planned in advance for each of them. This daily surrender can happen with prayer. But for years, I overcomplicated praying for my kids, which led to not praying at all. Thankfully I found Praying the Scriptures for Your Children. Because of Jodie’s thoughtful work, I have a guide to pray God’s Word for my boys. This spiritual practice aligns my heart with God’s. And in this new edition, prayer prompts for technology help lead me in one of the greatest areas of stress for this generation.”
“I can’t think of anything more powerful a parent can do for their children than pray for them—unless it’s praying the Scriptures for them. In my experience, some of our best parenting happens when we’re down on our knees! So I find Praying the Scriptures for Your Children a particularly encouraging and helpful resource and have it tucked alongside my Bible as I call out to God for my family each day.”
