Praying Circles around Your Children

by Mark Batterson

Your prayers for your children are the greatest legacy you can leave.

Drawing prayer circles is a metaphor that simply means “to pray without ceasing.” It’s praying until God answers. It’s praying with more intensity, more tenacity. It’s not just praying for; it’s praying through.

There are times when you have to grab on to the horns of the altar and pray until your knees are numb.

“Mark, what one person may see as ordinary, another may see as his miracle.”

prayer is the way we fight our battles. Prayer is the difference between you fighting for God and God fighting for you.

I don’t love my kids equally. No parent does. I love them uniquely.

Irrational fears only submit to prayer.

Your focus determines your reality.

Luke 2:52: May you grow in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.

I believe that if we simply do what the people in the Bible did, we may experience what they experienced.
