Bestselling author Sharon Jaynes offers adults a practical, specific guide to praying for their whole child—from their mind (their thoughts) to feet (the path they walk)
Sharon Jaynes, international speaker and the bestselling author of twenty-five books with nearly one million sold, is a powerful voice in the global faith community. Formerly the vice president of Proverbs 31 Ministries and cohost of their radio program, Sharon knows the topics that are important to Christians; with this new book, she places the focus squarely on our children.
God has given parents the privilege of shaping not just a human being but an eternal soul for a very short, very fleeting period of time. Sometimes that responsibility can feel overwhelming, especially when it comes to prayer.
In Praying for Your Child from Head to Toe, Sharon shows parents, grandparents, and the family/friends how to use the words of Scripture to pray powerfully and purposefully over our children from the cradle to the empty nest.
This practical, encouraging and directed guide offers:
A unique head-to-toe pattern to make prayer for our kids a natural habit.
Thirty days with sixteen prayers each, taking the reader from prayers for a child’s mind (thoughts that enter their mind), eyes (what they look at), shoulders (their burdens and worries), all the way down to their feet (the path they take).
Flexibility, whether you are looking for a month-long devotional or Scripture prayers to use again and again.
Sharon Jaynes writes: “Prayer is not a means of gaining control over our children, to whip them into shape and make them the men and women we want them to be. Prayer is a means of relinquishing control of our plans and asking God to shape our children into the men and women He wants them to be.”
“While our roles and responsibilities as a parent change throughout the stages from childhood through adulthood, one constant remains ... prayer. And though hopefully our children will outlive us, they will never outlive our prayers that are etched in the heart of God.”
