As we remember the historical winds of terror brought upon our nation by enemies, let those memories serve to remind us that we are ONE nation under God. That united as one body, each taking our place to serve the needs of our fellow Americans … as well as future generations … that the enemy…

When my children find themselves condemning others, let that be a clue that they are not receiving forgiveness for their own sin. Guilt and condemnation tell my children that their sins are too big for God’s forgiveness. Help them adopt a humble attitude and forgive themselves the way God has. Isaiah 43:25

As my children mature allow me to give them the dignity of making more and more of their own mistakes and then letting them learn from those experiences. They belong to You not me … keep me from hindering You from working in their lives by over parenting. Romans 12:16, 14:3, 14:23

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! John 1:6-8

I pray my children’s lives become a conduit to bring your love and purpose to fruition in the lives of those around them. Give me the wisdom to cleverly get your Word into them until the day they begin to crave time alone with you… and that time will come! Isa 55:10-11

Somehow show my children (in a way that makes sense to them) that their job as Your child is to trust You… to be happy today even if they are in pain… For You have deprived it of power to harm them and have conquered it for them! Jn 16:33
