Jodie and I chat about praying for your children throughout their lives, how God delights in hearing from His children, and how praying the Scripture brings peace and aligns our heart with God's heart.
6:07 Jodieshares her faith journey, mothering in the early years, and how her first book, Praying the Scripture for Your Children came to be
"I turned Eph. 4:29 in to a prayer for me and my family."
She did a paper survey asking one question, "If you could ask God to do one thing for your children, for your family, what would it be?"
She used the top 20 answers to create a table of contents of what might become a book. Then, she dug into God's Word to see what it said about each topic.
All 3 books are cataloged by topics.
11:16 Jodie shares what she has experienced in her own personal prayer life as she has prayed the Scriptures for her children
"There is a lot of richness and depth and variety as we lift our prayers out of Scripture, but not only that, I think they become a lot more powerful. God says in Isaiah 55 that His word will not return empty, but will accomplish the purposes for which it's sent. I have really seen that His Word goes forth and it accomplishes things."
"It's this beautiful hand in hand partnership where God invites us to partner with Him in accomplishing these purposes through prayer."
"As I slip my hand into God's and bring my children before Him, for me I get a peace that I don't think I would get any other way, because even if I not yet seen the result (even if I am still in the thick of whatever the issue is) I know God is at work. I have released it to Him. I know He is for us and it keeps anxiety at bay and opens the door to that peace, that contentment and that confidence in the midst of the storm."
"Share your heart with Him even in the midst of the mayhem."
Praying the Scripture for Your Teens
Praying the Scripture for Your Adult Children
15:35 Jodie shares how praying changed as her children got older.
"Their needs may change and their friendships may change, but at the end of the day we want them to have godly friends."
Parent's of adult children don't have the same community as parents of young children, so that is challenging. They can feel alone, so that is why I wrote praying the scripture for your adult children.
