Prayers of a Parent for Adult Children

Prayers of a Parent

by Kathleen B. Nielson

Adult children face many struggles, both earthly and spiritual. Even fully grown, they need support as they forge a life of their own. But how can we help them on their journey as they become independent from us? Bring your love for them to the Lord in prayer. God, who knows and loves your child perfectly, will satisfy their every need. Let Kathleen’s words guide your devotions as her prayer collection tackles the challenges of marriage, parenthood, careers, aging, and more. Each of the thirty one prayers included is accompanied by Scripture passages and short reflections for meditation. This volume offers prayers for adult children. Other books in the series provide prayers for children, teens, and young adults. What a blessing it is to thank God for our precious children thorough all stages of life!

This is a great resource. I loved working thru the prayers over several months, returning often to the themes that Neilson has laid out. These are not my only prayers for my kids, but they are a sweet supplement, widening the scope of my communication w the Lord.

I would recommend this book to parents with teens-launching age children. I found it surprising how many topics I hadn’t started praying about but that I have definitely been worrying over. I appreciated the thoughtfulness of this book.
