Works for Me – Praying Daily for Your Children

works-for-me.jpg

I struggle with consistency.  Exercise, drinking water, cleaning my house, and watering my plants come to mind.  I want to be disciplined, but there are times when I just really don’t feel like exercising (most of the time) and there are times when, gosh darnit, I really want to drink Coke!  (Sidenote:  When I moved to Texas, I quickly learned that all soft drinks are called Coke.  “Would you like a Coke?”  “Sure.  Could I get a Dr. Pepper?”  Odd.)

But one area in my life where inconsistency is not an option is prayer.  God has blessed me with a wonderful husband and an amazing daughter.  I may neglect a lot of things in life, but I cannot neglect my family.  Prayer is eternal.  I want to live for the eternal.

I have a copy of this prayer calendar on my refridgerator.  I pray daily for my daughter, but this calendar gives me specific things to pray, as well as a scripture for each day.  I use it to help me remember to pray for things that I may not be consistent about or might otherwise forget.

  1. Wow! What a fabulous idea! I’ll definitely have to print that out!

    I pray for my kids all the time, but this would still be a great, specific supplement!

    Angie and Mrs. Brownstone,
    I sincerely hopes it is a blessing to you! I actually received this calendar along with a gift at a baby shower. I thought that was a great idea.

  4. I have a similar calendar that I found here: http://www.lifeway.com/lwc/files/lwcF_kids_31_days_prayer.pdf?emid=95. I printed it off and taped it to my bathroom mirror. While I’m brushing my teeth I can pray for each of my boys.
    Thanks for a great tip.

    scrappy,
    I love your calendar! I think I may actually like it better than mine, but I’ll have to take a closer look at it. I have memory verses on my bathroom mirror, but I like your idea, too. Thanks for the tips!

    michelle,
    Isn’t it great to find practical tools that help us live out the life we want? Blessings!

    I love this idea. I struggle with how to make religion a part of our daily lives and I think this will help.

    Thank you!

    Thanks for sharing! I have found, just this week, that our day moves so much more smoothly and sweetly when I pray with the children first thing in the morning. Not just a general, “help us to have a good day,” type of prayer but specific prayers over one child at a time. Powerful!

    Thanks for the calendar link!
