Praying Parent

Dear Jesus, please keep my babies safe and healthy....... 

This is how I prayed for my kids, well maybe a little more in depth, but not as detailed as I should have been.  I am currently in a study class at church, based on the book, "The Power of a Praying Parent".  I grew up in a healthy, faith based home, where we prayed together and read the bible together.  Heck, my grandma would wake us up each morning singing one of those "old" hymns and send us out the door with a new scripture every day.  I feel like I should be a "professional" prayer, but I AM NOT!  This book by, Stormie Omartian, is phenomenal!!!
I like to read; BUT with 2 little ones, a house to keep clean, dinner to cook, a full time job, baseball practice, etc. it doesn't always fit in the daily schedule.  This book was read in the bathtub at night or after everyone else was in bed, whenever I could find time to read it, I did!  Every chapter is a new reason to pray for your kids with a prayer at the end to walk you through it.  Her stories are amazing and ones that we can relate to with our own children.  
As my life becomes more hetic by the day, so it seems, I see more proof that I need that alone time with God.  Why am I trying to maintain my sanity alone, when God is there waiting to help me. We all know that raising two stem-winders (as my father-in-law calls them) can cause some moments of insanity!!!
I encourage you all to read this book and explore her other books, I have a list of them I want to read myself.  If you read the book, let me know what you thought of it.
