Praying Scriptures for Your Children with Jodie Berndt

What can be more overwhelming than parenting? Not much! But thankfully we have one tool we can use for every parenting situation, and that’s prayer.

“There is nothing we face as a parent that God has not already thought of, and provided for, in His Word,” writes Jodie Berndt, author of Praying Scriptures for Your Kids. Jodie’s been praying for her kids and encouraging others to do the same for decades.

Why should we pray?

-Prayer can free us from worry and fear in our parenting.
-Praying for our kids can also take some of the stress out of our parenting.

Jodie and I also talk about why it’s important to pray for our adult kids, even when they’re out of our homes. I know you’ll be encouraged by this podcast!

About the Book:

There is no need we will face in parenting—or that our kids will confront in their lives—that God has not already thought of, and provided for, in His Word. And there can be no greater privilege than partnering with him, through our prayers, to accomplish his best purposes in the lives of the people we love.

But where to begin?

In this updated and expanded edition celebrating the twentieth anniversary of a modern classic, you will discover how using the Bible to shape your desires and requests opens the door to God’s provision—and frees us from things like worry and fear in our parenting!

It teaches you how and what to pray for your child(ren) in the following areas:

faith
character
safety
relationships
the future

Plus, all-new material includes sections on praying for a child’s sense of identity, praying for their use of technology, and building a prayer legacy with specific strategies and a collection of child-friendly Bible verses designed to help children anchor their hope in God’s Word.
