When my children were younger, one of our favorite activities was to have a reading time each day. But, what do you do with your child that doesn’t like to read? Here are four strategies I used with my children who didn’t like reading. Now, there are times I can’t get my children to stop reading.

Our children face challenges every day at school whether they are at school, in college, or doing homeschooling. It may be a challenge to learn new things. Maybe there is a student in their class who is difficult to be around. Or maybe they don’t get along with one of their teachers. Whatever the challenge may be, let's do one of the best things we can for our kids which is to pray God’s Word over them. Join me for the Back to School Challenge 2023! I created the Back to School Challenge to lead us through 21 days of praying over our children. Each day, I will share a Scripture verse and a prayer to pray based on the Scripture verse. Sign up below to get each day’s prayer delivered to your email inbox. You will also receive a calendar with the prayer focus for the day.

Here is one simple way to start praying for your children today. The first step is to pick out a Scripture verse to pray over your children each day of the year. The Scripture verse needs to be one that speaks to who they are, what they are struggling with, or what they need to grow in.

Keep on praying. I feel like this should be a song or something. An anthem. A reminder to keep on praying. Why? Because prayer is powerful. The Bible is filled with Scriptures about the power of prayer. When we keep on praying, God uses our prayers to move mountains, to change hearts, and to draw us closer to Him. Today, we are going to talk about one way to keep on praying for your children.
