Psalm 127:4 says that children are like arrows in the hands of a warrior. As parents, we shape our arrows and send them into the future. We decide where to aim.  For Christians, the goal is to launch Christ followers, children who know their purpose and will impact the future for Him. We can’t control, predict, or fix every challenge our children face, but we can pray to One who loves them more than we do and never leaves them. We can let God use our toughest seasons as parents to grow our faith and turn us into prayer warriors. Join us as we share 5 prayers to pray over this new school year.
