Iris Delgado has written many powerful, impacting books, but this one is really tops. She has captured the power of older leaders in the family releasing blessing over all the childrenfrom earliest age. This practice of prayers of protection and blessing is a tradition that every Christian home should adopt. This is a must-have, must-do book that will change you and your familyforever.

I have been married to Iris for forty-eight wonderful years, and I can honestly say that she is truly a woman of God. The Lord uses her effectively and powerfully to minister to women and families throughout the United States and abroad. Her example and her prayers have anchored my family and produced a loving and unbreakable bond among my daughters and grandchildren. I highly recommend this prayer book to every parent, no matter what age your children may be or what situation they may find themselves in today. I recommend that you not only read this book but also put it into practice.

My mother, Iris Delgado, has been an incredible example of a praying mother. From my childhood to my own parenthood, I have seen with my own eyes the power that prayer can have in any situation. We live in a day that our children are under outside influences from every direction of their lives. Social media and cell phones have opened a whole new level of intensity of influence that we never experienced in our youth. We will never be able to remove all the bad, but we can call on heaven to help guard our children as they are exposed to so many things beyond our control. This new book gives practical tools and advice, along with prayers, to teach you how to pray effectively. Whether you are new to praying for your children or have calloused knees from years of warfare, this book will be a worthy investment to your family and the generations that will follow you, covered under the shelter of the Almighty.

I dedicate this labor of love and earnest importance to my two daughters, Kristine and Kathy; to my two grandsons, Daniel and Gabriel; and to all the children who will be the recipients of these powerful and effective prayers.
These focused and specific prayers, full of the Word of God, have delivered our daughters and grandchildren from the enemys camp and have caused a very intimate and unbreakable friendship among our family.
I stand in the gap with all the parents who will make a positive decision to make these specific and powerful prayers for their children. I have no doubt that you will also see great miracles and radical changes in the lives of your loved ones. To God be all the glory!

HAVE YOU NOTICED that this generation is greatly wounded and many young people have no direction in life? Many of them have grown up without a father or mother. A generation of children with orphan hearts is seeking meaning and acceptance in all the wrong places. But I believe a great awakening is taking place right now, and we will see many of our wayward children and young people come back to God.
