The best prayer for my child is that God says,
We pray that the promises made will be fulfilled in the child's life.

“I am not a mother who controls her child’s life.
“I am a mother praying for my child.”

Any mother raising children would want her children to do well.
Parents want to do everything for their children and help them, but as their children grow, parents face limitations.
In the end, all we can hold onto is the tearful prayers offered with a sorrowful heart.

The author, who serves the Korean "Praying Mothers," has experienced God working through prayer.
As mothers prayed and stayed in their prayer places, God revealed to them who He was and answered their prayers in abundance, even more than they had prayed for.
Thanks to this, mothers who had only looked at their children and their problems have turned their gaze toward God, have become thankful even when there are no conditions for gratitude, and have learned to hold on to the promise and pray patiently rather than being swayed by circumstances and circumstances.

We usually pray earnestly when we have a wish or plan, or when we face an emergency or difficult problem.
Especially when we reach the limit of what we can do and are forced to admit our incompetence, prayer becomes our last hope.
But as we overcome the crisis and find peace, we find ourselves praying less and less.
The ups and downs are severe because the focus of prayer is on the situation or emotion.
However, when we pray with words, we can pray consistently regardless of our circumstances or emotions because we focus on God.

True prayer is not only pouring out your heart, but also listening to God's voice.
In other words, prayer is revealing your heart to God and listening to what God tells you.
Let's look at prayer from the perspective of conversation.
--- p.29

Through prayer, we experience what God does and learn more about Him.
It is truly amazing what God does.
He uses our poverty, our failures, and even our suffering to accomplish His will.
God works beyond the limits of our reason.
--- p.54

There is a clear difference between prayer that focuses solely on problems and prayer that focuses solely on God.
How can we fix our gaze on God? Focusing on the Word is the same as fixing our gaze on God.
When we meditate deeply on God's Word and pray accordingly, we are freed from anxiety and find ourselves praying with powerful faith, not just empty prayers.

After you have suffered a little while, he will restore you, make you firm and strong, and firmly establish you. 1 Peter 5:10b

Please try praying with these words.
We can pray, “God, help us to have your perspective and see our present suffering as a temporary one, so that we can endure it well.”
You could also say, “May we overcome this day with anticipation, looking to God who perfects us, strengthens us, and solidifies our foundation through suffering.”
When you pray with words, you will feel more powerful and at peace than when you pray with your emotions.

But let's take a closer look at Jesus' words. He doesn't say "the whole congregation."
Even though he speaks of “one heart” prayer, he says, “two of you.”
Isn't it interesting?
He could have said that if “ten thousand” or “a thousand” or “a hundred” or “ten” of you all join together in prayer, the Father in heaven will grant it, but He simply says “two.”
What I'm saying is that numbers don't matter.
He emphasized that united prayer is when even just two people join together in prayer.

Praise is prayer.
What is the first thing we should do in prayer? Praise God.
So, let's start praising with words.
Let me give you an example.

Jesus spoke again to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." John 8:12

Jesus said of himself, “The light of the world” and “The light of life.”
So how should we praise?
“Praise be to Jesus Christ, the light of the world.
amen!"
“We praise our Lord Jesus Christ, who came as light into a dark world.
amen!"
“We praise the Lord who has made it possible for us to no longer walk in darkness.
amen!"
“When we follow the Lord who is light, we praise God who gives us the light of life.
amen!"
--- p.119-120

Meditate on “Your lovingkindness is abundant to all who call on you” and confess any sins that come to mind.
- Forgive me, for I am still afraid to go forward and am caught in the snare of sin, even though you are a very merciful God.
amen!
- Please forgive me for my sins of not being able to enjoy Your generous love and share it with others.
amen!
- Forgive me for not making an active effort to resemble the good and generous nature of God.
amen!
--- p.166

Nagging never gets you anywhere.
What's the secret to not nagging? It's letting go of all rights, claims, and expectations, and looking silently to the Lord Jesus Christ, who bore the cross.
If you teach your children to be grateful not because they are better or more capable than other children, but because they exist, and not because they have too much, but because they lack something, that gratitude will flow into your family and have a powerful impact.
Love and prayers for family are expressed through a life of gratitude.
The value of faith is something truly precious and cannot be measured in price.
A faith that is filled with gratitude in all things, unshaken by circumstances or conditions, is the best legacy we can leave to our children.

It is a great miracle that a physical illness is healed.
But that's not the end.
The reason God gives us miracles is so that we can come to know who God is and be saved through those miracles.
When we love our children, believe that we will definitely bring them to Jesus, and pray without retreating together with prayer partners, I believe that God will hear our prayers and heal and save our children, as well as the next generation of this land and the next generation of North Korea.
