This sounds basic but I never prayed for specific things for that day... just long term things (coming to know Christ, their future spouse, etc.) I have a 6 month old, 2 year old, and 3 year old and today has been a hard day with behavior issues... this was God's way of showing me how to deal with it! Thanks again! Wow what a great way to pray for your kids!

I just want to say that if you read anything commendable or lovely on this blog it is from the Lord. Praise Him for encouraging us through each other! I do not want anyone to think I have it all together. I don't and I struggle with all the same ugly sins that everyone else struggles with. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. Comments motivate me to continue blogging. I can talk to myself (and do) in the shower. So thanks for letting me know that someone is reading and thinking about what I write. Blessings, Kimberly Thank you all for your comments. I just want to say that if you read anything commendable or lovely on this blog it is from the Lord.

I try to pray regularly for my girls (I have a long-standing struggle with faith, but that's a story for another day!), but it never occurred to me to share with them what I'm praying for. I will definitely take this one to heart! ~ Jennifer http://thetoyboxyears.blogspot.com/ Thanks for such a great post!

You always find ways to touch my heart, and help me to see my own shortcomings. While I pray for my children daily, and continue to thank him FOR them daily. I too never thought to share these PTL's (Praise the Lord) with the kids. I do not think you will ever know how much you have done to bring our family closer together, and closer to God, or how much of a possitive impact you have had on our life over all. (As I am sure stands for many of your other readers as well.) I have been praying for one of ours who has suffered from control issues. They are having a hard time finding that line between older sibling correction ability, and what should be told to, and handled by, a parent. (To the point they where taking it upon themselves to spank the younger children. Which I did not like.) I know God is working in their hearts on this matter, because I can already see possitive changes in their daily additude. God does indeed answer prayer. I think I am going to start sharing the prayer requests, and answered prayers with the children as well. Thanks again gurl! Many blessings! Huggz! --A Thank you once again Kimberly.

I am spending time catching up on your blog this morning (the kids are all planting flowers with grandma), and am glad today worked out! While I pray for my children regularly, I never thought to share my specific requests WITH them. We have one struggling with anger issues right now. She gets very angry if (errr... WHEN) something doesn't go her way. She has little "outbursts" that just aren't okay. It might include throwing something (fortunately not at anoyone!) or slamming a door... stuff like that. I think it's time to let her know that I am praying for her for that specific battle she's having. My heart is tenderly breaking for her and I think she needs to know that she's not in the battle alone. She always feels so badly afterward, that, well, it's just heartbreaking. Anyway, thanks for your tip! Thank you for this, Kimberly! I am spending time catching up on your blog this morning (the kids are all planting flowers with grandma), and am glad today worked out!

I made a few corrections on my original post. I had written that post this weekend before I was sure of the link.....I also called it the wrong thing! I had it to automatically post this morning. I have not been on the computer since late Saturday night! Anyway, I made the corrections and now have it linked to you! I hope you get a lot of responses so we can all learn from each other! Your praying idea is great! Joyfully, Roan Hi Kimberly!
