Praying Proverbs Over Your Child

The Ultimate Guide to Praying Proverbs Over Your Child: It's our responsibility as parents to teach our children to be more like Christ. We need help with this daunting task. Proverbs is God’s textbook for that task. Let me introduce you to the best child-rearing book ever written--the book of Proverbs. Read it, study it, meditate on it, teach it to your children, and PRAY IT OVER THEM! This is a great resource for character building!
It's our responsibility as parents to teach our children to be more like Christ, and we need help with this daunting task. The book of Proverbs is God’s textbook for the task of child-rearing.
"The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a child left to himself brings shame to his mother.... Discipline your son, and he will give you rest; he will give delight to your heart." Proverbs 29:15, 17
Let me introduce you to the best child-rearing book ever written—the book of Proverbs. Read it, study it, meditate on it, teach it to your children, and PRAY IT OVER THEM! This is a great resource for character building!

​There are so many ways to use the book of Proverbs to raise godly children. Besides the list here, there's also the chapter-a-day way. There are 31 chapters in the book of Proverbs. 
Each chapter is packed with wisdom from God! Read a chapter a day to your children for a whole month. You can start today. Whatever day of the month it is, start with that chapter. Don’t wait until it’s too late!

​There is no greater calling, no greater obligation given to us as parents than that of raising godly children. I believe you will find the book of Proverbs covers most every situation or decision that could arise in your child’s life. The list here will help you find many of the answers quickly. Download the free printable today and keep it on hand so you have it when you need it.

​With this list, you can easily identify areas your child struggles in. Consider having them find the verse that deals with the particular situation they are struggling with and write that verse out or memorize specific passages where they struggle. ​

We can never go wrong praying scripture over our children. God's word will not return void. There is power in His word. Blessings to you! I'm your neighbor at #InspireMeMonday.

I definitely covet Proverbs-grade wisdom for my kids, and it so happens that my next reading challenge in the Bible is going to be the book of Proverbs, so thank you for the push to use that material in my prayer life as well.
