Quotable

Some of the heaviest burdens I have borne as an adult had to do with my children. The enemy will attack us through our children in an attempt to distract us, weaken our faith, and ultimately separate us from God. Therefore, we must pray unceasingly for strength, wisdom, and comfort. While God does not require us to pray on our knees, I suggest that praying parents take a knee whenever possible to pray for their children. A sincere act of respect and honor toward our Heavenly Father on behalf of our children demonstrates true humility. The Bible teaches us that “God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble” (James:4:6But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
See All...). For our children’s sake, parents should pray fervently and daily before God. We will worry far less and sleep more soundly as a result.
