Praying for Your Children Quotes

“O Lord, give me a daily burden for my children. Teach me how to pray for them, and lead me into effective intercession.”
― Elmer Towns, Praying for Your Children

“When you bless someone, you are making a commitment to that person. This means you shouldn’t walk through the mall trying to lay your hand in blessing on every person you see—you can’t help carry out the blessing you give. When you bless a person, it should be because you have a relationship with that person. Through that relationship, you will help them reach the blessing you speak.”
― Elmer L. Towns, Praying for Your Children

“We pour our hearts out to God on behalf of our children and it not only makes us feel better, it accomplishes something. God is able. He can do far more than we could ever imagine or guess or request in our wildest dreams. He is powerful. His power works in us and in our children so that it will all ultimately add up to His glory.”
― Elmer L. Towns, Praying for Your Children

“We need to pray that when tested they will not give in, but even when they fall, they will get back up and keep going for God. Sometimes they will get off track. We need to pray that those times are brief and that they will retrace their steps back to the Lord. As Jesus prayed for Peter, we need to pray that our children will learn from their mistakes to depend more completely on the Lord.”
