For moms and dads who long to lift their kids up in prayer, Powerful Prayers for Your Daughter and Powerful Prayers for Your Son offer hope, encouragement, and practical help.Rob and Joanna Teigen assure parents that just because they don't always understand their son or daughter, that doesn't mean that God doesn't. Collecting specific prayers parents can use, along with stories from other parents about how God has answered their prayers, Rob and Joanna give readers a strong foundation to build a lifelong habit of praying for their kids. They also explain what boys and girls need to learn as they grow up, including character, courage, modesty, self-control, forgiveness, and more, so parents can pray for every part of their kids' lives.

A Word from Joanna
T HE WRITING OF THIS BOOK finds me in a strange season of life. On the one hand, my oldest son is in college and has in large part “left the nest.” I see his character, his hopes for the future, and his love for the L ord, and it brings me great joy.
At the same time there is a little boy in my home whom I desperately want to call my own. He came to us as a foster baby and we’re struggling through a long, stressful adoption process. As of this writing, I’m still unsure what the final outcome will be.
As I look at both of my boys, I see with absolute certainty that every good thing in their lives and their hearts has come from God. No matter how much I care for and love them, I can’t make them who I want them to be. I can’t keep them safe. I can’t control their future or their choices. I can’t be the perfect mother I tell myself they need. I look at them and at myself and realize that without God, we are lost.
As that truth has taken deeper root in my heart and mind, it has pushed me to pray like never before. For many of my parenting years, I took a “my work PLUS prayer will get it done” approach. And while I am devoted to all five of my children, I now see that in the end my efforts will fade away compared to what the Lord brings about in their lives.
There is freedom found in placing my children in God’s hands. When I release them to him, I am set free from worry. When I trust him to work out his salvation in their lives, I don’t have to be their conscience and their judge. When I meditate on his constant love and mercy toward them, I can let go of resentment and anger over their weaknesses. When I believe in a Holy Spirit who is a counselor and guide, I don’t have to be an all-knowing fountain of wisdom for every situation. When I pray and let God be God to them, I am free to just be me.
And so I pray. I pray with tears, pleading like everything depends on it. I pray over and over for the same things, and then pray for them again. And God gathers up my prayers and says, Little one, you can rest. I hear you. I love you. I love your child. I am here, and I will always be. Be still and wait because I am going to do more than you can imagine . And I dry my tears and take a deep breath, and I have peace.
Joanna
A Word from Rob
M Y WIFE IS A MAZING ! I know I don’t tell her that enough, but I am amazed at all of the tasks she juggles in a day. I read our family calendar on the wall with all its doctor and dentist appointments, kids’ choir rehearsals, foster parent meetings, drop-offs and pick-ups, and it makes me want to go take a nap. Of course, while I’m napping Joanna is usually cooking dinner. Out of all the things my wife does for our family, the greatest
