Prayers for Your Children

It’s never too early or too late to start praying for the children you love!

From infancy to empty-nesting, parenting is full of surprises and scares, hard decisions and unexpected blessings. Through it all, your children need your prayers.

In 90 days of poignant prayers drawn from Scripture, James Banks guides you to speak God’s words of promise and comfort back to Him. As pastor, parent, and grandparent, James uses his deep knowledge of the Bible to address your child’s needs and challenges, covering everything from salvation and temptation to anxiety, growth, and contentment.

Each day is a launching pad for your own prayers as you bring your specific concerns to God. He loves the children in your life even more than you do, and He is waiting to hear your every hope, fear, and dream for them.
