Give my children the wisdom to see that your command to love God above all others is about actions. Love is a verb… They must seek your presence and your wisdom through bible study, prayer, and good teachers of your Word (make me one of those!) so they will be lead by the Holy Spirit…

Build in my children a faithful heart… for their prayers to be answered my children must ask in faith without any doubting… for if they doubt they ought not to expect to receive anything from You! Jn 1:6-8

Give my children a new heart and put a new spirit into them. May their hearts be soft and able to feel the exquisite pain of the piercing of Your arrows … so that their hearts are no longer hardened against the piercing of Your word and the teachings of our Master. Ezekiel 36:26

I pray my children receive the steady supply of the Word they get each week by APPLYING it to their daily lives… not just to their lives… but through their lives by allowing the Word to transform the way they think then ultimately behave! 2Co 3:18, 1 Th 5:23-24

Prayer is more than a string of words or a list of requests; it is the act of intimacy with God. Coming into intimacy with You is the principal purpose of prayer. Let my children experience Your amazing presence through their prayers so they will know the power of keeping those lines of communication open….

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,…
