It is not enough to simply pray for our children. We as children of God also need help in other to be able to nurture the children God has passed through us for His purpose.Sometimes we miss it in the process of training them especially in our utterances or patience. So we need to pray for ourselves.It is my utmost prayer that we will not be found wanting in our first and primary assignment of nurturing our children especially in the present world where there is massive corruption in values in schools, offices and even in some of our churches.Let’s take these few prayers as starters.

1.      Father, open our eyes to your pattern of training for us as parents so we can follow suit to train our children in the Name of Jesus (Eph. 5:1).

2.      Father, guide us to model our home as a type of your heavenly home so that our children will desire heaven with all their hearts in the Name of Jesus.

3.      Father, grant unto us the grace to stand in unwavering faith and effective prayer for our children until Christ be formed in them in the Name of Jesus (Gal. 4:19).Christie M. EHIMIKAStrategic Mothers Host
