Parents sometimes become discouraged when their children aren't seeking salvation. I think it's really good for children to grow up seeing someone praying for them. When we pray for our children (or if you're praying for a child you know) we need to make sure that they see us praying for them and that we always pray for their salvation first. Although it might not seem like it, this is something they will remember for the rest of their lives.
This is a true story. There was a woman that had grown up in a Christian home, but she was not saved herself. One of her earliest memories was of her Grandmother going to pray at a certain time each day. Her grandmother would go in her room and cry out to God each day for her family and other prayer needs. There was never a day that was skipped and there was never a day that each family member was not raised up to the Lord. Her grandmother died before this woman ever found salvation. Looking back now, she believes that it was the daily prayers that her grandmother prayed that brought her to where she needed to be.
Times are hard for Christians right now, today. We've got organizations out there right now that their only mission is to remove the Bible and God from anything they can. They have made progress in doing this on many things, including schools. They are now working daily on this in other areas such as marriage and the word Christmas. If things are this bad now, how bad will it be for our future generations? For your children and grandchildren. It's never to late to start praying. If you have no children or grandchildren, make it a personal mission to pray for a child you know. Although we might not see our efforts succeed in our lifetime, I truly belief that these prayers will come to pass.
