Things I Wish My Father Knew #12 Pray on Behalf of His Children

Powerful, indeed, is the effect

of a father’s prayers

on behalf of his children!

What a sense of security is provided

for the child who knows that

daddy is sufficiently concerned

to talk daily with the Lord

about his or her welfare.

Prayer not only transfers the burden

from the father and child

to the Lord,

but it establishes a rapport

between them.

And when the answers come,

times of rejoicing and celebration

become a family affair.

That wonderful feeling of fulfilment

is experienced

when the desires of your heart

have been granted!

What a privilege can be yours,

through the family’s daily devotional time,

to weave into the fabric

of your children’s lives

the knowledge that

God has a plan for each of their lives.

“The prayer of a righteous man

is powerful and effective”
(James 5:16)

THINK BIG. START SMALL. GO DEEP.
