Yet again, another wonderful book by bestselling author Stormie Omartian. I am familiar with her writings, my favorite is the Power of the Praying Wife. I like that her books are easy to read and straight to the point. Her books are chocked full of the good stuff. I appreciate how she includes the scriptures throughout each prayer, making it a more powerful prayer. I would like to own all her Power of Prayer books one day.

I am a mother to five daughters, two of which are married with children of their own. There have been many times that I would be burden in my heart for my daughters and their families. There are still times when the words just don’t flow like I would like when I pray for them. For me, it is extremely hard to let go of my children, once they leave our homes and to permit them to make their own mistakes without trying to add my two-cents worth. I have actually had to pray for God to help me hold my tongue and keep my opinions to myself.

“First Memo to Self: Forgive my adult children for anything they may have done to hurt, disappoint, neglect, or anger me. “

From the introduction chapter of “What Every Parent of an Adult Child Needs to Know”:

1. It Never Ends
2. You Can’t Fix Them
3. God Can Change Everything
4. You Must Stop Blaming Yourself
5. How to Forgive

Stormie Omartian’s book, The Power of Praying for Your Adult Children, can help you with praying the power of God’s Word over your adult children. This book has fourteen wonderful chapters to help you with praying for your adult children.
