Parents’ Prayers Part 5: Change My Child’s World
New Life Ranch is about more than just a great experience for your child, it’s also an opportunity for God to work in his or her heart in life-changing ways. While you may not physically be here with your child, you can stay close by spiritually supporting him or her through prayer. To help you with this, we’re including a series of parents’ prayers on our blog this summer. A new prayer will be posted every Monday and each one will tie into this summer’s “change agent” theme. You’ll be able to access the other prayers in the series so we invite you to keep coming back. We want the work God begins in your child’s heart to continue long after he or she returns home. Thanks for joining us in asking God to make your child a “change agent” for His Kingdom this summer and for a lifetime.
Also pray for me. Pray that when I speak, God will give me words
so that I can tell the secret truth of the Good News without fear.
Ephesians 6:19 ICB
Lord,
In the middle of activities, busy schedules,
and all that is a part of our lives
it’s easy to forget there is so much more
to this life than what we see.
There are many who don’t know You
and there is no greater purpose
we can fulfill than bringing others
into Your Kingdom.
So I pray this summer my child’s heart
will be filled with a passion for sharing You.
Use her words, actions, and
every part of her life to point to You.
I pray she will be a witness
to the world of Your kindness,
love, and unending grace.
Give her boldness and opportunities
to spread Your love even in simple, childlike ways.
Thank You that You can use anyone
to tell the Good News
and I pray You will share who You are
with and through my child.
Amen.
