Let me experience much joy and comfort from my children’s love, specifically their love for others. This kindness so often refreshes the hearts of God’s people. They worship You in serving others and behave as true disciples of Christ.

Philemon 1:7

Help my children understand that the turmoil in their lives is not Your will for them. Show them that strife is the work of Satan. You made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by means of Christ’s blood on the cross. You were pleased to live in Christ. Let them be, too!

Colossians 1:19-20

All scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It straightens us out and teaches us to do what is right. Scripture is God’s way of preparing us in every way, fully equipped for every good thing God wants us to do. Lord, give me the endurance and devotion to teach my children theses scriptures, using words only when necessary. Make me a living example of Your word.

2Timothy 3:16-17

Teach my children not to condemn other Christians. Help them understand that we are each accountable to God. Let their minds be free of this clutter so they may focus on serving You.

Romans 14:10

Teach my children not to waste their time and energy on things that cannot be changed. Help them to look forward and press on. Remind them that You have plans for them and they are good. They will give their attention to the important assignment they have every morning, the choice of their attitude. The best is yet to come.

Philippians 3:13, Jeremiah 29:11

My children will make allowance for each other’s faults and forgive the person that offends them. They will be bound together by love and let the peace that comes from Christ rule their hearts.

Colossians 3:13-15

Let my children live by their spiritual values every day. May these principals be the light that guides them and offers stability and structure to their inner world. When that world is in order, they can navigate their way through anything.

Joshua 1:7-9

Help my children do what they should so they may enjoy the personal satisfaction of having done their work well. They are responsible for their own conduct and don’t need to compare themselves to anyone else.

May my children remember our talks with joy and want to spend time with me as much as I want to be with them. I receive comfort in my own suffering when my children remain strong in their faith. How I thank God for them!

1Thessalonians 3:7

Give my children the heart to protect Your creation. They have dominion over the works of Your hands and all things have been put under their feet. Make them aware of how precious and important they are in this world.
