Praying Biblical Virtues For Your Children – 30 Day Prayer Challenge

Introducing our 30 Day Prayer Challenge: Praying Biblical Virtues For Your Children

One of the best things you can do for your kids is to pray Scripture for them!

As a new school year approaches, good character is the one thing that will help your children the most. If you homeschool, you can have the best-laid plans and have the most popular curriculum, but if your kids don’t have Godly character, you are going to have a hard time teaching them!

Character is a vital ingredient to academic success, but it also helps your children to become more like Christ, and better equipped to fulfill His plans for them.

Why pray Scripture for their character?

Because the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword. (Hebrews 4:12)

In short, God’s Word has power that our words don’t have.

I have personally found that when I pray Scripture for my children, God does amazing things in their hearts and lives. I believe that happens because when we pray God’s Word back to Him for our children, we invite His power into their world.

Praying Scripture does not have to be a complicated or difficult thing, and there is no right or wrong way to do it. You can simply read the verses, and say them back to God in your own words, inserting the name(s) of your children.

Here is a simple example from my prayer journal, showing how I have prayed Scripture based on Proverbs 21:1 and Isaiah 55:11.

Father, if you can change the heart of a king, you can change the heart of my child. Please work in his heart, and make the changes that are needed there. We have diligently taught Him Your Word, and I am claiming Your promise that Your Word won’t return onto You void, but will accomplish what it should.

The exciting thing is that after praying that for my son, I saw God begin to work in his heart!

It was softened, and he began to be more open when the Lord convicted his heart of wrong behavior. He came to me in tears a couple of times, asking me to pray for him about something he was struggling with. THAT is the power of God’s Word at work through prayer!

I want to same for your family!

This is your personal invite to start the school year off right and join us for 30 Days of Praying Biblical Virtues for Your Children!

In this challenge, you will be given a list of virtues to pray for your children each day!

This prayer challenge is totally free and will include a daily prayer based on Scripture, as well as additional Scriptures to reflect on and personalize into prayers for your children.

Join the waitlist here, and then beginning September 1st, you will receive a daily email with a prayer for the next 30 days.

Friend, my prayer is that you will join me for this 30-day challenge to pray Scripture for your children’s character. And as a result, I hope you see God do some wonderful things in their lives, as they grow and become more like Jesus.

I have created a beautiful prayer journal to go along with this challenge.

This is totally optional, but I have found that when I journal my prayers, the Scriptures become more meaningful to me, and I’m able to focus my thoughts on the prayer that God is impressing on my heart.

The Praying Biblical Virtues Prayer Journal includes:

A daily prayer for your children’s character
Several suggested Scriptures to reflect on
Space for writing your own personal prayers
A set of 30 prayer cards that go along with the challenge

4 Simple Ways You Can Win Your Child’s Heart

What does the Bible say about letting God lead?

30 Words of Affirmation Every Child Needs To Hear (And Printable)

"Because of the Intentional Living Course, I feel like there's a sense of order and peace to our days. The important things are done first, so if it all falls apart later, we're still ok!"

"These short lessons are perfect for younger children to process the information. his is a wonderful, affordable curriculum for teaching children Biblical character traits and I would highly recommend it."

This is a wonderful course for moms! I loved how Kathie encouraged me and inspired me to do better. She gave lots of opportunities to get in the Word to see what God has to say about anger, and told us specific ways we can change. I am so thankful for this course. And that God used it in my life.

Hi Rhoda, thank you for letting me know about the problem. There should NOT be a shipping charge on this — there’s a glitch in the system and 2 or 3 other people have been charged for shipping too, but none of the others. You are just one of the lucky few. 🙂 We are looking into this to get it fixed. In the meantime, I sent you an email so you can order without going through our cart.
Thanks!
Kathie
