Praying the Proverbs: A Battle Strategy for Parents in Hard Seasons with Adult Children
— a devotional for parents and grandparents walking through hard seasons with their adult children.

When love is costly, boundaries are blurry, and hope feels thin, this book guides you day by day to pray Scripture, set holy limits, and keep your heart steady. Rooted in Proverbs and threaded through the whole Bible, these readings speak to addiction, estrangement, manipulation, idleness, sexual confusion, incarceration, and the ache of grandparenting in the gap—without shaming you or your child.

What you’ll find inside:

• Over 30 days of devotionals that begin with Scripture (ESV), move into a warm, theologically rich reflection, and end with a crafted prayer, a bold Spoken Destiny (a Scripture-rooted declaration), and For Deeper Study passages.

• A clear, compassionate approach to love with a backbone—how to set boundaries without bitterness, say “no” cleanly, and keep the porch light on and the gate wise.

• Practical help for grandparents, including navigating leverage with grandchildren, transferring care back to restored parents, and advocating for little ones with wisdom.

• Pastoral care for adoptive families, acknowledging primal loss and offering trauma-wise language, repair steps, and hope.

• The “Far Country Field Manual”—a battle strategy that shows how to stop funding destruction, protect the vulnerable, and keep a verifiable path home.

• An orienting Introduction & How-To, plus ready-to-use standard responses, weekly rhythms, and a simple plan for fasting and intercession.

Gentle, honest, and full of gospel hope, Praying the Proverbs will help you trade panic for prayer, enabling for wisdom, and exhaustion for endurance—so you can love your adult child with steadfast love and truth, while trusting the Father who runs.
