Your child’s young adult years are filled with joyful opportunity and character growing challenges. Lift them up to the Lord with poetic prayers for their heart, mind, and life of faith.

Beautifully written prayers, richly saturated with biblical truth, and meaningfully applied to parenting young men and young women. I have been blessed praying for my children using this collection of prayers as a springboard. Each prayer has a Scripture passage and brief meditation and application specifically directed to parenting young adults. This is a marvellous resource. Highly recommend the parent series, which includes prayers for Young Children, Teens, and Adult Children.
Beautifully written biblical prayers. Love that it’s not just sentimental parent language but challenging things to direct my heart to pray for my kids.
