i have come across a few helpful guides in praying specifics for Ben & our kids. since i don't have the entire bible memorized, (how awesome would that be?!) i love having a list of a few scriptures to pray for my family.
as i learn more about prayer & become more addicted to it, i want to share more verses that help me pray on a more personal level. i believe the best thing i can do for my husband & children is to be an intercessor, on their behalf, to the Father. i want to cover them in prayers, each day. and i truly think it will help me to love them more & serve them with a willing heart.

isn't this neat?! i'll be honest, i don't always pray every scripture on this list every single day. but i do try to pick out several & focus on them. i try to cover every scripture in a week. i got this from www.prayingscriptures.com and its been pretty helpful. i don't think its essential to have a list of scripture, but it definitely helps you to be specific & its a great way to learn the bible.
i want to be a prayer warrior for my kids. i want them to know that i am always thinking of them, and loving them by going to the Lord & asking Him to move in their lives.
so thankful for my kids & so thankful for the Word.
