The One Year Praying through the Bible for Your Kids (Guthrie)
Description
The things you want most for your child are the things only God can do...so you pray.
As parents we want to protect our children; we want them to move forward in life; most importantly, we want them to take hold of and grow in Christ. And while the advice offered by parenting experts can be helpful, at some point we realize there are no simplistic formulas or sure-fire methods. We need wisdom from God’s Word for this all-important task.
In The One Year Praying through the Bible for Your Kids, trusted author Nancy Guthrie weaves together wisdom and insight from each day’s reading in The One Year Bible, providing a parenting prayer devotional full of encouragement through the triumphs and turbulence of parenting.
Each of the 365 daily readings contains:
- An anchor Scripture verse for the day
- A devotional reflection on that Scripture, offering truth and hope for parents to take hold of
- Fresh words to help you pray for your child
- Verses to follow along with the One Year Bible Reading Plan
Day by day you’ll find your dreams and desires for your children are becoming shaped more by Scripture than by the culture around you. Worry less, pray more, and help yourself to a daily dose of hope, perspective, and grace as you parent.
Endorsement
"I love how Nancy Guthrie has taken the method of praying the Bible and applied it specifically to parents praying the Word of God with and for their children. Each devotional is simple and easy to use, including a brief Bible passage, a paragraph or so of devotional thought, and a prayer Nancy composed in connection with the Scripture selection. She has even included blanks so you can insert the name(s) of your child(ren) as you pray for them. I wish Caffy and I had had this book when our daughter was growing up. I’ll certainly be giving a copy to her and her husband to use with our grandchildren."
—Donald S. Whitney Professor of biblical spirituality at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary; author of Praying the Bible
