I recommend this for every mom! So many great prayers for yourself and over your child. I like to start my morning with these prayers and even say them out loud! I gain so much confidence in God’s word when I hear it. I also feel like it changes the posture of my heart toward my son before he is even awake! He wakes up and I feel even more grateful for him and to be his mother

I loved going through this and the prayers in this are for both the mother and the children. The topics range from health, friendships, temptations and more. I believe it’s important for parents to pray continually for their kids, and this is a good place to start.

Powerful praying book


Dear. Publisher I have been using your book for two years now.
I blessed spirituality and also in every area of my life.
Also my children are blessed too. I saw so many changes in their life through your prayer book that I brought it from Amazon Kindle.
But one thing I dislike it is that I cannot copy anymore to sent to some of my friends.
Resently While praying to God thanking him for you and your family bcos through your paryer book my life transform, suddenly God spoke to me if you are so blessed, why don't you also share some of your friends whom you always concern of their spritual life.

So, I just started to sent my friends for 4 days but on the 5th day copy doesn't allow any more by the publisher.

I was so sad 😭 bcos I couldn't sent them any more.

So, since I already brought your book, kindly allow me to copy anytime as I want it.

I enjoyed this book, especially with couplets so I could pray for myself & my child & a place for me to write a personalized prayer. I just feel like it could have been half as long. Many of the prayers felt repetitive.

I value the routine and intentionality of this book. Daily, focused prayer over my children feels right and good. There were some ideas that didn’t align for me.

If I'm being honest, I struggled through some parts of this book. But, on those days where God used the words to speak to my heart, it was spot on. So I rated this book five stars because of those times. We're going through some family issues, so those days where the readings actually helped/guided my prayers was so meaningful, it was worth the struggles I had at times (and those struggles with the book were most likely heart issues on my end, not the fault of the author). Great book for those who want to pray over their children, grandchildren, other family members, etc.
