"EXCEPT THE Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; except the Lord keeps the city, the watchman wakes but in vain." (psalm 127:1 Amp).

Childbirth is in partnership with God. In procreation, the Lord himself must build the house. It's the Lord that increases a mere man and his wife with children and so builds up the family. Then, child's training is partnership with God in recreation. It is a great spiritual work after having a child, every parent needs the help of God to keep the city- to successfully raise up the child unto manhood (that is maturity) and Godliness (that is spirituality). In child traning, parents, especially mothers have such a heavy responsibility thrust upon them. They must engage in frequent, fevent prayer to achive their goal. No matter the amount of her

tenderness, closeness and motherly influence, only a kneeling mother can make any life-long impact on her child's life. The tender loving attributes of mother can work wonders but for a time at most, only when you are alive. But Prayer, these is a more blessed and enduring assurance for long after your child might have forgotten your care and ternder love,Then he will begin to gain and reap the rewards of the motherly prayer.

Prayer never becomes irrelevant or unnecessary in a child's life fervent prayer is the only insurance that keeps a child already doing well, to continue to let the word of God be light to his path. it will continually fortify his heart and mind as well as guild his footsteps. by the same token, fervent prayer is the key that opens the heart of the wayward child and

turns him or her to God. All other weapons in a mothers arsenal aim at the child's emotional and mental facilities, only prayers take a direct aim at the child's spirit. so a kneeling mother makes more progress than a cajoling complaning or for that matter indilging mother.

We often underestimate the transforming power of effectual fevent prayers for example, what if Jacob had not prayed before he had to face a cheated Esau hasting to meet him in all his, pent up fury? but he prayed and his prayer turned the tide in his favor. Most mother are yet to learn the efficiency of prayer and faith in turning the wildest of

youth into the mildest,Moreso, prayers act like salt to preseve the Godly youth into righteousness.

Prayer works wonders when mixed with faith and holy living.Since the begining of God's relationship with man, there is yet to be even one occation when God ignores the prayer of faith of even the weakest of his holy child.But sin has always forms a barrier between God and man, so it does when a sinfull mother attempts to pray for her equally sinfull child without first reconciling with God through repentance and sanctification with the blood of Jesus .This is the secret many mothers have found.
