Every parent wishes for the utmost well-being for their child, yet it's often a crisis that compels a parent to turn to prayer above all else. In her latest publication, "The Praying Parent," Debbie Salter Goodwin delves into the strength of prayer and offers guidance for parents on how to consistently pray for their child, directing their focus towards God rather than the negative aspects associated with a crisis. Goodwin emphasizes that prayer is the most significant gift parents can offer their children and explores how praying the appropriate prayers for a child can lead to a transformation not only in the child but also in the parent's heart and mind.
 
 
"The Praying Parent" aims to bridge the connection between parents and their children with the divine. It encourages parents to avoid praying generic phrases like "Lord, don't let…," and instead to pray for transformative responses, such as "What do you need me to do now?" It provides concrete examples of prayers to be said at various stages of a child's life. Additionally, the book includes scripture, illustrations, and reflection questions designed to assist parents in becoming proficient praying parents.
