purposeful prayer

I often feel as though I've fallen into a trap when it comes to praying.  I feel convicted that I pray the same prayers, the same words, over and over again.  I, like many of you, want to pray powerful and effective prayers, particularly for my children.  I want them to grow-up knowing that their Mom prayed for them daily and with purpose.  I strongly believe in prayer, the strength of it to me is awesome. 

I have come to realize, in these few short years of being a parent, that I cannot and will not be ever-present and available for them as their Creator is.  Praying is one of the most powerful things I can do for our boys and with that I would like to be accountable to praying through the 31 Biblical Virtues to pray for your kids, yet again.  I hope you'll join me! 

1. Salvation.  "Lord, let salvation spring up within my children, that they may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory"  (Is. 45:8, 2 Tim. 2:10).
