Prayer works Included in the book are study questions to help you understand and apply the concepts from the book. There are also Scripture and prayers after each chapter to use as you pray for your child. Excerpts from Unceasing: Since my nagging voice can be a distraction from His still small whispers to them, I have learned to ask myself a series of questions.

Am I an impediment to God's work in their lives? Or am I a catalyst?

Do I drown out His still, quiet voice? Or do I amplify it?

Am I a roadblock to God's plans for them? Or am I an entrance ramp?

As a parent, even a praying parent, I quickly become overwhelmed and fearful as I look into the eyes of these giants UNLESS I keep my eyes on the Lord. I have no confidence in my own or my children's ability to face their problems. But my confidence in God's ability to not only face, but conquer, those giants is immeasurable. We might not be able to fix our kids, but we can pray to a God who will.
