It is so critical to realize that the never interpret the silence of God as the

indifference of God. God is frequently silent but he is not indifferent. The next thing that they

have to do is to never give up. That's Dr. Irwin Lutzer and he's our guest today on focus on the family and this

conversation had a really strong response from our listeners when it first aired

earlier this year and that's why we're bringing it back. Dr. Lutzer talks about how parents can

pray for their children and clearly he touched a felt need. Thanks for joining us,

your host is focused president and author Jim Daly and I'm John Fuller.

John introducing our children to Jesus is the most vital part of parenting.

I mean Gene and I pray almost every day for our boys. It's consistent and this program with Dr. Lutzer was one of our best of

2023. One listener told us thank you and God's blessing in abundance for the spiritual insight and encouragement shared during this interview.

I intend to apply it with hope, faith, and love in Jesus' name.

That's a great response. That's what we want to hear. We wanted to share

this broadcast again because of many comments like that one. The number one topic people

call our ministry about is parenting adult children, many of whom have walked away from the

faith. But as Dr. Lutzer said right there, don't give up. Today we want to help meet your

needs and encourage you with practical tools to use in praying for your children and their faith.

Right, and we hear so much heartache and grief from parents who are struggling and we have a great counseling team here for you and if you're in a

spot where it's really challenging, give us a call please and schedule a time to talk with one of those

counselors. Our number is 800 A family. Dr Erwin Lutzer is

Pastor Emeritus at Moody Church in Chicago and he was the senior

pastor there for over 36 years. He's written a number of books and the one that forms the basis

for our conversation today is called a practical guide for praying parents.
