a praying parent

Your prayers for your children will not shield them from heartache or even from wrong turns. Your prayers do, however, guarantee that every problem, every difficulty, every wrong choice is already factored into God's big picture. Every struggle will forge in them a deeper faith and deeper love for the Father. This is what you want for them. Let God do His work in them.

I love this book and resonate so much with this truth! More than anything, we want deepened character in our children that glorifies the LORD!
