Parenting means wrestling demons.
After all, if Satan can establish a foothold in the lives of children, he has a decent chance at keeping them under his thumb for a long, long time.
And so above the feeding and clothing and bathing…
and the listening and nurturing and chauffeuring…
my primary role as a parent is Prayer Warrior In-Chief.
I’m blessed to have the privilege of sharing at Arabah Joy Blog today, where I’m offering twenty Scripture-based prayers for your unborn child, equipping you to start praying the Scriptures for your precious bundle. And since the prayers cover topics like salvation, faith, growth, wisdom, and relationships, I think you’ll find them useful for any child you’re praying for.
Here’s an excerpt:
Those final days before a child is born can be excruciating. And the laboring of a child into the world is a glimpse of laboring to come…
Laboring in prayer.
Laboring in diligent training.
Laboring in love.
Laboring in patience and nurture and grace and a million other labors that make motherhood a weighty calling and a significant one.
When your precious child makes her way into the world, you’ll do many important things for her. But none so important as prayer.
