We want our children to be people of strong moral character who value and display wisdom, compassion, and courage. We want them to develop hearts of kindness, faithfulness, and humility while living generously, persevering through life's challenges, and walking in obedience to Christ. But how do we help our kids develop character traits that will go the distance, no matter what life throws at them?

We pray.

Comprised of scripture-inspired prayers for thirty-one character traits and a section of commentary with tips on how to pray powerfully and effectively, Proven Character: Praying for Our Children will help you discover how prayer creates space for God's work to be accomplished. This devotional will help you develop the skills to

• pray for your children's character development,
• take up the shield of faith on their behalf,
• silence the enemy,
• access God's presence,

• and encourage their faith.

  Our children are worthy of our prayers. Our prayers exert a powerful influence upon the spiritual environment in which children make their choices. As you pray through these specific character traits--one for each day of the month--you will learn to invoke the truths of God's word, invite the Holy Spirit's influence, and impact children's lives for Christ.
