Last night I had the joy of celebrating baptism with two families. The kids had all been through our Journey Class and made a solid commitment to Christ. As we were upstairs waiting to go out for baptism, I asked these two fathers to pray over their children who were about to be baptized.
As I listened to these fathers pray, I was reminded of the power of a parent's prayer. I need to encourage our parents to pray for their children more. I need to give them opportunities to pray over their children. I need to encourage them to...
- Pray God's armor of protection around their child each day.
- Pray that their child will love God with all his/her heart.
- Pray for their child's future spouse.
- Pray that their child will discover and follow God's will for his/her life.
- Pray that their child will make wise decisions.
- Pray that God will bring good friends into their life who will be a good influence on them.
