Praying the Scriptures Journal: Trusting God with Your Children

By Jodie Berndt

As parents, we always worry if we’re doing enough for our children, but there’s one thing we can do no matter where we are in our parenting journey: pray. With a grace-filled approach and a warm, personal style, bestselling author Jodie Berndt gives you the tools and the encouragement you need to pray intentionally for your children.

This unique interactive journal, based on the bestseller Praying the Scriptures for Your Children, is an invitation to ignite your faith by praying for your children.

Along the way, you’ll discover firsthand how using the Bible to shape your desires and requests opens the door to God's provision—and frees you from things like worry and fear in your parenting. You can finally take comfort in knowing that no matter how far away your kids may be, they are never out of His reach.

Filled with biblical insights, compelling prayer principles, and prompts to direct you and deepen your faith, Praying the Scriptures Journal offers you a way to powerfully influence your children’s lives. This interactive journal also includes:

• Focused areas of prayer, including faith, character, safety, relationships, the future, and more
• Encouraging quotes from Praying the Scriptures for Your Children, Praying the Scriptures for Your Teens, and Praying the Scriptures for Your Adult Children
• Timeless Scripture verses that go along with the topic of each section
• Journaling prompts for personal processing, along with plenty of space for notes
• Short prayers to help you start praying for your children

Berndt reminds us that there can be no greater privilege than partnering with Him, through our prayers, to accomplish His best purposes in the lives of the people we love.

Praying for Your Child’s Faith

Whether you were raised in a Christian home or came to faith later in life, you want your children to have a vibrant, saving relationship with Jesus—one that impacts all that they think, say, and do. And it can be frustrating, sometimes, to realize that we can point our kids in the right direction, but we cannot make them love God. No one, Jesus said, can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them (John 6:44). Sometimes our children make a commitment to Christ at a young age, and we have the privilege of watching them mature in their faith. Other times, that decision happens much later. In both cases, though, we can be confident that God is always at work in their lives—and that he invites them to join him in accomplishing his best purposes (including their forever salvation!) through our prayers.
