Praying for Your Children

I pray for many things for my children. But one thing that tops the list is that they will know that God is real -- that He will make Himself evident to them in some way, shape, or form. The cool thing is that I see it working. I see them wanting to draw closer to God. My oldest son especially has been telling me he has been praying more often. He thinks it's strange that he's doing this all of a sudden. I think it's an answer to prayer and a fulfilled promise of Scripture, "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you" (James 4:8a).

Are you praying for your children? Have you thought about how you should be directing your prayers? The most important thing is their relationship with the Lord. Everything after that is extra.
