How effective is a prayer? How can a prayer change and shape the lives of our children? Jodie Berndt is the proud mother of four, and after 40 years of marriage and the blessing of many grandchildren, she knows first-hand the importance of praying for her kids and waiting patiently in the moments between. As an author and Bible teacher, Jodie shares well-earned wisdom about praying daily for our children at every stage of life, whether they are toddlers, teens, or adults with families of their own. Praying is a form of acknowledging that we don’t have all the answers, she says. Prayer doesn’t have to be mysterious or inaccessible. Prayer is about having a relationship with the God of the universe and bringing our everyday life challenges and joys to Him. Let’s model this wonderful practice for our children!
