Synopsis

Parents of teens today face overwhelming challenges. Whether a model child out in a dangerous world or a rebellious maverick who's breaking mom and dad's hearts, every teen needs prayer. But where do parents start? Susan Yates offers parents a clear-cut and simple plan for praying for their teens. "31 Days of Prayer for My Teen" helps parents focus on the needs of their teens and pray effectively for things like: moody, unlovable, or rebellious teens; friends and role models; temptation and decision making; sibling rivalry and anger; self-centeredness and doubt; and much more. Each prayer includes Scripture readings and journal questions for more in-depth study.
