The enemy has a plan for your kids. He is patient, he is studying them, and when it is time he will shoot the arrow. So how do you pray for your children and fight for your family? In this Christian parenting episode, Angel and Kayla Mendoza share how they pray over their three boys and why parents are the covering.

We waited seven years for our first son. Now with an 8 year old, a 6 year old and a 9 month old, Angel prayed one prayer in January: Lord, give me wisdom to raise these boys. We talk about how the enemy goes after marriages first and then children, generational blessings and curses, and why it is not the church's job to teach your kids the Bible. Church is the add-on. Five minutes of Bible stories at bedtime counts.

We share how God showed us each son: Ezra putting a "Y'all just need Jesus" sign between us in our hardest season, praying for Elijah, our strong willed child (you can be stubborn in either direction), and Ethan's hearing journey, which does not disqualify him from his calling. We close with Psalm 91 and a prayer over your family.

This week: take five minutes one night, read one Bible story with your kids, and pray Psalm 91 over each child by name.
