Praying for our children

RESUMEN: Prayer for children is a duty of every parent, regardless of their spiritual condition. Children are God's blessing and it's our responsibility to accompany them through all their itineraries. Prayer for children is pleasant incense to the Lord and the father and mother who pray with a clean heart before God are more than blessed. No matter the condition or need of our children, we should commit them to God and trust that He will do His will in their lives.

Have children? Children are God's blessing. When we are in Christ we understand even more this great truth. Children are like an extension of our being; We see them grow, walk, stumble in life and we feel duplicated our feelings of love, sorrow, compassion, a solidarity towards them that overcomes all fear. When we see them happy, we are happy, if we see them suffer, the world is upon us.

There is an Arabic proverb that says: "Children are more like their generation than their parents." This is a half-truth, but there is definitely some truth in it and we cannot completely prevent our children from claiming, with little effort on their part and despite our advice that they live in the fear of God, that complacent air. , which makes them human - and Christian - who live their own time and who cannot escape trends, fashions and other currents of their generation. Especially when they are teenagers. For that and many other reasons, prayer for children is a duty of every parent.
