<b>Because God Loves Them Even More Than You Do</b><br> <b> </b><br> It’s our instinct as parents to shield our children from harm. But our true responsibility is to raise children equipped to live well for God even in the midst of struggle. <i>Upside-Down Prayers for Parents </i>encourages us to pray for our children in ways we may never have before:<br> <br> • I pray you’ll get caught doing things wrong—and experience the power of confession.<br> • I pray your prayers will go unanswered—and you’ll find a deeper trust in Him.<br> • I pray you’ll fail in things that don’t matter—and learn what matters to God.<br> • I pray you’ll encounter battles—and discover that God is your greatest ally.<br> <br> By turning our prayers “upside down,” we not only learn to release our children to the care of God alone, we also uncover how our <i>own </i>desires need to be submitted to God’s will.<br> <br> Each entry in this thirty-one-day devotional includes a short reflection, a Scripture verse, and ideas to jump-start conversations between you and your child or teenager. Together you’ll discover a deeper trust in God that will help you make it through the upside-down times with a right-side-up perspective.
