How to Pray for our Children

The following list is designed to pray one request per day, thus enabling you to go through the list each month.

I have used this list off and on for the last 15 years.  God is faithful and has answered many, many of my prayers!  We serve such a good and faithful God.  I trust this will bless you as well as you seek to serve the Lord Jesus Christ.

Grace and Peace,

Audrey
