Title: Does Prayer Make a Difference?
Topic: Power of Prayer
Discussed by Geremy Keeton
with Focus on the Family www.Family.org
Today’s segment with Geremy Keeton focuses on the “what if my
child strays” question many (if not all) parents have regarding their
children. Geremy is the Director of Counseling with Focus on the Family.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Does prayer really make a difference?
Should parents be praying for their children every day?
What should parents NOT do when their child strays from their faith?
Do parents need someone to “vent” to so they don’t take their frustration out on their kids?
Should we pray to be like the father of the prodigal son?
Why is it important for us to help and support our friends whose children have strayed from their faith?
Geremy Keeton says this: “Make the aroma of your faith, the steadiness it gives you, attractive to your child.”
