“Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” ~ Proverbs 22:6
I started praying for our sweet girl before she was even born. As the years passed, the prayers continued, but the changed according to the stages of her life. Now, that she’s in college and approaching some difficult decisions about further education and a future career, I find myself, once again, praying in a different way. I also find myself praying that the Lord will bring the right people into her life to help her grow in her faith so that she might achieve the goals that the Lord has set before her.
With that in mind, I knew that I didn’t want to pass up the opportunity to use The One Year Praying through the Bible for your Kids by Nancy Guthrie. I like to utilize a variety of resources to help me as I pray for my girl. This is a good additional resource in my prayer life for my precious girl.
Each day of the year has a verse, short devotional, and then a prayer. The devotionals and prayers aren’t geared towards a specific age group which is nice. Many of the devotionals/prayer books around these days are geared towards parents of young children, so it’s nice that this book works for parents of all ages of children. The devotionals aren’t in-depth. They are meant to be able to easily fit into your day. I would consider these as a supplemental Bible study that is geared specifically towards praying for your child(ren).
