Overview

Now I lay you at His feet, and pray the Lord your soul to keep. May angels guard you through your life and guide you in God's perfect light. These words are my whole-heart's prayer for our adult kids. Our kids fully belong to God. Their souls are fully in His hands. And even though it's been true since the first moment we held them in our arms, letting go of the details of parenting feels unnatural...even undoable at times. Our role as parents changes profoundly the moment our kids become adults. Instead of being ""children under our authority,"" they become fellow adults under God's authority, who need a positive Christian relationship with their parents as they make their own way in the world. But becoming the parent of adults is not a demotion. In many ways, it is more important than ever, requiring more grit, emotional stamina, wisdom, and dependence on God than we ever imagined. When parents of adult children commit to pray, we make a conscious choice to step onto a spiritual battlefield, plant our flag, and claim God's territory in the lives of our kids. We aren't running into battle with swords, but the enemy is absolutely waging war and prayer is our most powerful weapon against his schemes to keep our kids in bondage. Your Soul To Keep is a prayer book that guides personal prayers for your adult kids, as well as giving you detailed plans for establishing a small group of warriors who will join you in prayer. Use it in solitude, with others, or take the leap and do both! Monthly Battle Plans include: Starter-questions to prompt fellowship Devotions about the names of God with questions to guide application to your life as a parent Adult coloring pages to guide personal prayer Worship songs that align with the names of God Note pages for recording requests and celebrations for each adult child Scripture-based prayers to read aloud

"""This is so needed, especially for parents who have picked up shame and condemnation and have lost hope. God is so faithful to us and He will be to our children also. We are counting on it! Thank you for a beautiful plan for building an army of God-fearing, praying parents. We cannot allow our child's crises of faith to become our crises of faith."" Cheryl Wells, Side By Side Ministries ""Parenting adult children brings a whole new set of challenges. This prayer book does an amazing job of giving some really practical ways for parents to love, encourage and pray for their adult children. And in going through it, it also lifts your eyes to remind YOU of the character and worthiness of our God."" Pastor Jon Duey, Indianola Community Church ""When asked to join the Your Soul to Keep prayer group, we didn't know anyone and had a lot of questions. Would confidentiality be kept? Will we be able to open up honestly? What will others think of our family? Now that our group is established, we can say confidently that the friendships we've formed enrich our lives and the lives of our children in ways we didn't think possible."" Rick & Carol, Your Soul to Keep Group Members ""We didn't know all the members of the group so we were apprehensive about sharing concerns about our children, and nervous about praying out loud. It's now a group of people we trust with our greatest concerns and a group we have fun with. If you're trying to decide whether or not this is something to add to your life, do it! The more people praying for our kids the better!"" Wanda & Glenn, Your Soul to Keep Group Members"
