Why Pray?
Prayer impacts our children, but it often impacts us in equally powerful ways. God doesn't want us to fight against our kids, He wants us to fight for them.
Tweet to Inspire: "My boys needed someone to fight for them and that person was me." - @brookewrites on @HowTheyBlog
Tip #2: Pray in the Moments
Stop in the middle of moments and struggles with our children and pray for them. Prayer doesn't need to be perfect.
Set an alarm every hour and pray for a minute.
Post sticky notes with prayers or verses all over your house.
Use prayer calendars.
