It is not easy to be a good parent.  Good parents, both fathers and mothers, must constantly teach their children. But there comes a time when children grow up and they go away.  When my children were going away from me for the first time, I found that I prayed for them even more than when they were with me.  Why did I pray so much? Because I wanted them to apply well the lessons I had taught them when they were with me.

Good church planters pray for their people when they are away.  IN fact, they wrestle in prayer for them to stand firm in the will of God.  To find out about a church planter who wrestled in prayer for his people, click here to listen to the Multiply podcast.
