Nothing is ever so important then praying for your children. The answer and the hope always is spiritually rewarding when we pray for one another. The same goes for praying for your precious child(ren). When your children are even absent from you for the day or a period of time, remember to offer prayer on their behalf. Pray for your children when you as well as go to Church. Ask our Gracious Lord God to watch over your beloved child(ren), as well as to turn to the Mother of God the most holy Theotokos to as well pray for your children. The Mother of God hears your prayers and shall indeed take your prayers to the Throne of Our Lord God on your humble behalf. As a Grandparent or a Godparent you can perhaps change the name children too: Grandchildren, or Godchild.
