    240. Day 17: Praying for My Child's Safety

    240. Day 17: Praying for My Child's Safety

    Welcome back to the kitchen table. One of our greatest fears is that Satan will find a way to destroy our children’s faith and lead them away from God. In a world full of challenges and temptations, we must pray that God protects and guides our children.
     
    Psalm 18:16-19 gives us a powerful reminder of God’s saving grace. Satan is relentless in his attempts to come against us and our families. But we can stand firm on the promise that God will protect us. 
     
    We ask for God’s protection over their hearts and minds, trusting that He will guide them through the challenges they face.

    239. Day 16: How Do We Pray for Ourselves

    239. Day 16: How Do We Pray for Ourselves

    ​​Welcome back to the kitchen table. One of the most powerful tools we have as parents is prayer. In today’s episode Bethany shares the incredible impact of praying not just for our children, but also for yourself. 
     
    Praying for yourself is not an act of selfishness, but rather a crucial step in becoming the parent you aspire to be—a servant of Jesus Christ, guiding my children on their faith walk.
     
    In Colossians 4:12, we are reminded of the importance of prayer. This verse speaks to parents, highlighting the need to pray fervently and persistently for our children. It’s a reminder that we should be constantly seeking God’s guidance, not just for them, but also for ourselves
     
    Let us continually ask God to guide us, to strengthen us, and to fill us with his love.

    238. Day 15: Praying for our Children to Walk with Tender Hearts to Others

    238. Day 15: Praying for our Children to Walk with Tender Hearts to Others

    Welcome back to the kitchen table. One of our deepest prayers is that our children walk through life with tender hearts. Jesus teaches us in Matthew 6:14-15 about the importance of forgiveness.
     
    We seek God's guidance to help our children maintain a tender heart, free from bitterness and anger. Life's challenges can often leave wounds that make it easy for their hearts to harden, not just towards others, but even towards God.
    When our children experience wounds, we pray that they bring these hurts to God. We want to teach them that it's okay to feel pain and to question, but it's essential to walk through these emotions with God.
    We ask God to help our children walk with tender hearts, to embrace and extend forgiveness, and to bring their wounds to him for healing.

    237. Day 14: Praying for Our Children to Walk in Peace

    237. Day 14: Praying for Our Children to Walk in Peace

    Welcome back to the kitchen table. In today’s episode Betahny prays for God to work in our children’s hearts and minds. We ask him to shape their character, helping them to understand how their words impact those around them. As parents, we hold a deep desire for our children to grow up walking in peace. 
     
    Proverbs 15:1-2 teaches us the power of our words. We ask God to work in our children’s hearts and minds, helping them to see how their speech impacts those around them. When our children speak, we hope their words glorify God and uplift others. 
     
    Encouraging our children to run their words through a Holy Spirit filter is crucial. This means teaching them to pause and consider: Are these words kind? Are they spoken in anger? We continue to pray that they understand the power of a soft answer.

    236. Day 13: Praying for Our Children to Obey from the Heart

    236. Day 13: Praying for Our Children to Obey from the Heart

    Welcome back to the kitchen table. As parents, our deepest desire is often to see our children grow into responsible, loving, and obedient individuals. We pray that God would help our children walk in his ways, calling them to obedience not out of duty, but out of a love for Jesus.
     
    When we call our children to obedience, we are inviting them to walk in the ways of God. This isn't just about following rules, it's about nurturing a heart that loves and honors Jesus. True obedience stems from this love. As Romans 6:16-18 reminds us, our lives are transformed by our relationship with Christ.
     
    We pray for the Holy Spirit to work within our children, to soften and transform their rebellious hearts into ones that seek obedience out of love for Jesus.

    235. Day 10: Praying for our Children to Walk in Truth

    235. Day 10: Praying for our Children to Walk in Truth

    Welcome back to the kitchen table. Today, our hearts are guided by Psalm 25:21 as we lift our children in prayer, seeking for them to walk in truth.
     
    Bethany’s prayer is simple yet profound—we ask that our children be rooted in truth. We pray for discernment, that they may distinguish truth and courage, to stand firmly in the truth, even when it's difficult. 
     
    And so, we pray that our children's hearts remain open to his guidance, that they may walk in his truth.
