Effective Prayers for Son Making Bad Choices

Every human being on earth is born by some man and woman. And from the moment of birth through to the end, the summation of a life lived by a man is informed by choices made for him or by him.

Every parent desires the best for their children but must not forget that a point comes in the children’s life where our desires, dreams, and advice become secondary on their consideration list. Alas! Strive begins. But rather than striving, I present a more excellent way- PRAYERS!

A little moment dedicated to praying for a son can go a long way, influencing their choices and landing them safely on the ‘Canaan side.’ Join me as we take a trip to the place of travail for our sons, where we make utterances to inform and direct their decisions in life. Remember, it takes words to frame a world. Frame the world of your son today by prayers in Jesus name.
