Cheri Fuller leads her reader through many different aspects and levels of praying for ones child/ren. Her book brings into focus the special relationship between God and Mothers and how we must allow God to do his part without our holding him back.

By stepping back and letting God do His will, we not only set our children free, we set ourselves free from the constant pressure to control situations that were God's to control to begin with!

Cheri's statement ("Effectual prayer means being completely committed to God's will. The prayer that brings results--that is great in its power--is one where we don't give God the answers...") couldn't be more true!

I highly recommend this book to Mothers of ALL ages!!!

This book is an EXCELLENT source of strength, insights, guidance, and most importantly HOPE for any parent. While the book covers all stages of a child's life, each section contains ideas and hope, regardless of the section's overall relevance to the stage you are at. While the book definitely has a Christain focus, it is not overbearing. The difference in my 21 year old daughter is nothing short of MIRACULOUS, especially in the last couple of months. I simply cannot recommend it highly enough for parents who are worried about their children. One of the few resources for parents of late-teen, early-twenty year olds.

This book is such a great book! If a mother is really serious about praying for their children and guiding them to God, it's a great one to read, and not to read, but to meditate on. I truly encourage this book to all mothers!

I expected this book to be more for moms of younger children, so I was pleasantly surprised to find that most of the book was very applicable to moms like me who have older children.

Cheri tells of other mothers throughout history who prayed about situations their children encountered which are so similar to the problems of the youth today - and these women were the mothers of Augustine and Hudson Taylor!

I thought Cheri's suggested schedule of what to pray for on which days of the week was very helpful. She has many ideas which will give you ideas of your own.

She includes many scriptures to look up and use in your own prayers for your children. Her chapter on waiting was especially good, I thought!

There is a chapter on praying for prodigals and another about praying for grandchildren, so if you are a mom, this book is for you!

Thanks Cheri, for another great book on prayer.

My only suggestion would be for the author to include her email address so those of us who would like email her to tell her how much we enjoyed her book could do so!

Mothers long to have a positive influence in their children's lives. This book says they can--through prayer. Fuller shares answers to prayer from her life, mothers in history, and today's moms praying worldwide in Moms In Touch International, an organization of moms praying for their children and schools in over 85 countries.(1-800-949-MOMS)

Choose any season of parenting, including grandparenting, and find practical suggestions to motivate and equip you to pray for children at that stage. There is also special encouragement for moms of prodigals. The author goes beyond praying for children and encourages readers to pray for their schools, neighborhoods, and worldwide revival. The final chapter reveals that as we pray, the one most changed is us.

One of the best things we can do for our children is to pray consistently and specifically for them. Cheri's "When Mothers Pray" comes alongside the mother and encourages her to pray through all the ups and downs--throughout a lifetime, even into the grandparenting years. I highly recommend this book.

A beautiful job of encouraging us Moms to continue to pray through every area of our children's and then grandchildren's lives, opening the floodgates of heaven upon their hearts and lives!
I have seen God's power and blessing, deliverance and goodness as never before ever since I daily started praying over and for my own children! (Especially PRAYING GOD'S WORD, the SWORD OF THE SPIRIT!) AND IT ENCOURAGES THEIR FAITH TO HEAR THE PRAYERS!
I myself was a prodigal child and had a committed Grandmother who faithfully prayed with her prayer groups; now my Mom, Dad, aunts and uncles, cousins, and I (and my husband) are all walking in joyful relationships with the LORD, as are my Dad and all 5 of my children (along with the rest of almost all her great-grandchildren children, so far)!
ONE PRAYING MOM/GRANDMOTHER WILL IMPACT THE ENTIRE FAMILY & GENERATIONS TO COME!
We can't leave our children out there and expect God's goodness to just happen upon them, GOD desires us to ask, seek & knock, that not only does He bless and keep them, but He blesses and transforms the "pray-er".
I was especially encouraged as she brought out all the different areas of prayer, with daily and weekly focuses, not leaving out friends, schools and the rest of the generations that need our prayers for REVIVAL, because they need more than ever>>>the Power, Presence and Protection of our Almighty God!
And the section regarding prayer in agreement, in groups is especially encouraging when going through seasons of "waiting" in prayer! We are usually not the willing ones to have to wait, and not until we've been encouraged and prayed through our wait do we usually see how God was making the stage larger while we waited, drawing us and others deeper into Himself, and all around He receives more glory. There are times in some of our children's lives it will imperative to have godly support and help from those who've been there and done that! If we're keeping them in daily prayer, there will be alot less "911" prayers that need to go up, and alot more praises, as you read you will be encouraged to faithfully pray>>YOU WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE In THE LIVES FOR WHICH YOU PRAY!! (Don't forget future friends and spouses either!!)
Wonderful book, KEEP ON PRAYIN!!

Being a new mom myself, I am thrilled to find a book that will help me to pray over my child. It lets me know that I have a lot of power in my daughter's life as a prayer warrior for her. It is a very uplifting book and I love to read it right before bed to help me cover my daughter in prayer.

We use this book for our bible study group and we have learned so much going between the bible and this book. It is an awesome find and powerful. Thank you Cheri Fuller.
