Standing and Believing For Your Children

"Children are a heritage from the Lord." Psalms 127:3 It's hard not to care for someone you're invested in. As parents, we invest in our children. We invest in their physical and mental health and in their future. God also called us to invest in their spiritual health as we attempt to raise well-rounded children who will become the individuals God has designed them to be in this world. We invest in their lives so that they can live successfully and productively in the world without being conformed to or compromised by the ways of the world. “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” (Romans 12:2 KJV) This familiar Bible verse is one that many Christians endeavor to live by. Many people today live contrary to the moral principles of the Bible. We must pray that our children learn to shun sinful ways and not gravitate towards the sin that is in this world. We impart light into our children through prayer and affirmations in order to expect light from them in return. Giving birth is natural, but raising a child doesn't come naturally. Mistakes are made along the way. Today's parents have so much more to deal with in regard to rearing their children compared to decades ago. Because we live in a world that at times can be chaotic, this book was written to encourage you and become a helpful resource for various situations you encounter as a parent. You will see how Debbie found supernatural strength and peace through one of the most difficult seasons of child rearing, while she continued to trust God. In addition to her heart-wrenching testimony, Debbie provides 25 positive scriptural affirmations and 50 powerful Bible-based prayers to help you Stand and Believe for Your Children! We must stand on the word of God and believe His promises for our children. If you are praying for your children, be encouraged and strengthened by the hope that God makes available in His word, the Bible. Parenting is a life-long journey of seeking knowledge and learning. We do not raise perfect children, even as we have our own imperfections. If you are reading these words, you most likely have acknowledged your imperfections as well, but have also continued to embrace your children with love. Interwoven into the message of this book are the foundational principles of “Radiant Wellness” that Debbie teaches and practice. They are a happy balance of healthy eating, regular exercise, personal care, managed emotions, and genuine spirituality. She believes that these five pillars will assist greatly in the development of well-rounded children. The goal is not perfect children but children who have a solid foundation on which they can build and grow. Debbie encourages parents and caregivers to continue to Stand and Believe! Your strength comes from God. Your strength is needed to sustain your family in times of adversity. So, look to God first, then look within. She pray also that you love yourselves as you love your children, so that they, too, can know and experience self-love. This book is written to encourage you and provide helpful resources for various situations you encounter as a parent. As you trust God to be your ultimate source while using the testimonies and tools in this book to support and strengthen you on your parenting journey. Know that you are not alone.
