About

Our children’s young adult and college years are packed with important life decisions that shape their personal growth. They need the love and support of their parents and a firm trust in God to see them through this complicated season of life. Lift them up to the Lord with this book of short, poetic prayers.

Each of these thirty-one prayers explores a different aspect of your child’s life—from bodily health and friendships to ambitions and creativity. Kathleen accompanies each prayer with Scripture passages and short reflections for meditation. Let Kathleen’s words guide your prayers to God for your child’s physical, emotional, and developmental needs that will prepare them for the path to adulthood that lies ahead.

This volume offers prayers for young adults. Other books in the series provide prayers for young children, teens, and adults. What a blessing it is to thank God for our children!
