You have planned out and made ready the good life for my children to live. Your Word does not promise a ‘bad life’ for my children. Show them who they are living for when they make bad choices (the enemy)… and please help them stay on Your ‘good path’ so they may experience Your peace,…

Let my children be fire lighters, inspiring those around them to dream big. Reveal to them those phrases they use that tear others down so they stop using them and therefore will become effective in lighting the fire of passion throughout their lifetime… let it start today. Jer 20:9

I pray my children put all anxiety to rest and learn to pray with a grateful heart making their requests known to You… for You promise Your peace in the hearts and minds of those who begin to trust and rely on Christ Jesus! Php 4:6-7  

Secure my children’s values so they stand firm when tempted. May they know who they are. Then release them from the urge to compare themselves to others, especially those that are not pleasing You.

My children will be patient and kind. They will not be irritable, rude, selfish, easily angered and will keep no record of when they have been wronged.

Thank You for satisfying my children’s longings and filling their hungry souls…  I respect and appreciate any…
