A great blessing that we can pass onto our children is prayer. Not only the prayers we say for them but teaching them how to pray too.
John Maxwell, a well known pastor who speaks a lot on leadership, wrote a message entitled "What Parents Owe their Children." Within this message he gave 12 ways we can pray for our children. Here they are: 12 Beautiful Ways to Pray for Your Children
