Do you ever feel anxious by the idea of sending your children out into the world? Do you long to see your children grow to love the Lord with a faith that is all their own? Have you ever felt overwhelmed by these feelings and not know where to begin?

As parents we are called by God to tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done Psalm 78:4 (NIV). He did not leave us to do this job alone. God promises to be with us every step of the way, ready and waiting for us to call out to him in prayer. What better time than before they leave for school?

As a mother of three, Lauren invites you into her own genuine prayer journey for her children. Turning to the Psalms for guidance, Lauren has created a collection of prayers to inspire you to pray for your own children each day.

• Pray deeper, more intentional prayers that will cover your children in God's Word

• Feel filled with God's presence, comfort, and grace, leaving you ready to be the parent he created you to be

Keep this collection of heartfelt prayers by your bedside, inside your car or tucked into your bag, and begin lifting up prayers that will stay with your children today and for a lifetime.
