Works for Me – Praying Daily for Your Children
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.

Praying daily for my child… works for me. Click here to see what works for everyone else.

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!

| Posted 1 year, 7 months agoI 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.
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 that is a great tool! I loved your comment that inconsistency is not an option. I am printing it out and putting it on my mirror as I type – THANK YOU!

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,
| Posted 1 year, 7 months agoIsn’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!
| Posted 1 year, 7 months agoOooh, thanks so much! I will definitely print both calendars; I know having a prayer calendar will help me remember to pray for my kiddos.
| Posted 1 year, 7 months agoThank you so much for this idea! I needed some guidance in praying for my kids.
| Posted 1 year, 7 months agoI’ve been looking for something to help me with this! Thanks

| Posted 1 year, 7 months agoThank you! I’m going to use this!
| Posted 1 year, 7 months agoThanks 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!
