I think we can all agree that we want our children to be full of joy! Right? But, I think I’m too often guilty of confusing joy and happiness- temporary wonderful feelings or circumstances- or maybe even a jolly disposition.
What if we prayed for our children to have MORE than a feeling that can come and go. But what if we started praying for our children to have a deep, abiding, unrelenting JOY that is present in all circumstances (good and hard).

Isn’t it amazing that we can talk to the King of the Universe about anything- at any time?!? He doesn’t just care about the big things, but he cares about every detail of our lives. That he is a faithful friend and a compassionate, loving Father.
But- even with this knowledge- as an adult- it can be so difficult to pursue a consistent, disciplined, passionate prayer life. However, I desire to raise children in this next generation who talk to God like a friend. Who come to God with boldness and great faith. I long for this to be a normal part of their childhood and teen years- and I desire to see them walk into adulthood equipped with a strong and vibrant prayer life.
Join me in prayer to today- as we believe for our kids to be prayer WARRIORS in the next generation.

I want my children to have a supernatural love for Jesus. I want them to follow him wholeheartedly. I want them to live passionately for him- with so much trust and abandon.
I want them to live in this world and not be shaken or moved by culture, hardship, or trials. But- in order to build such faith- they must KNOW God.
And in order to truly know God- they must know HIS WORD.
Today- let’s pray that our children would grow to LOVE and cherish God’s Word and to find deep joy in it.

I often say to my husband and my friends- "There is no Christian bubble wrap for this world we are living in."
What I mean by that is, no matter how hard we work to only place them in the right place, and settings, around the right people, intaking the right media or music, or keep them from devices or dangerous influences (and please hear me- this is important work!) our kids will be exposed to dark things.
That’s why this prayer is so important to me. The prayer for discernment. Pray with us today that your child will have eyes to see the world and their situations with clarity and the way GOD sees them.

A couple of years ago, my husband and I went on a retreat to talk about our vision for parenting.
It was so powerful and I walked away with a desire for my kids to be WHOLE in this generation- physically, spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and relationally.
And, God affirmed this in a BEAUTIFUL way through scripture! I share that story in this episode.
Spend 5 minutes praying with me as we believe for WHOLENESS for our children.
