As I was in the process of writing 10 Scriptures to Pray for Your Daughters, the Lord very heavily impressed unpin my heart to write one for sons too. At first, I was hesitant because I don't have a son, but the Lord spoke to me and said, "but you know scripture." That was totally a light bulb moment! I do know scripture and even though I don't have son, I do have many nephews. This post is dedicated to them. I hope and pray that the Lord will do amazing things in their lives.
If you have a son, I believe prayer is the most important thing you can offer him as an inheritance. I believe your prayers will go with him where your feet will never tread and be a driving force behind the man he will soon become.
