Parent Prayer

Being a parent can drive you to prayer. I believe this part of God's design!

Here is a wonderful blog post by a mother, articulating how she is compelled by her love for her daughter to pray for her: A Mother's Greatest Weapon.

"I may be able to make her make up her bed, and keep her from bad movies. But I cannot make her be unselfish, loving, and considerate. I can--up to a point--take care of the outside. But I am wholly dependent upon the Lord to work in her heart to "will and do" His good pleasure. If only God will enable me to tend to the possible, depending on Him for the impossible." -- Ruth Bell Graham

Dads, this is for us, too.
