Teach my children that Christ has redeemed them from every curse of the law, including sickness and disease … that Jesus bore their sickness for them not with them. Reveal to my children the ways in which the enemy is blocking the manifestation of their healing so they can act to unlock Your promises into…

Let my children be grateful. Teach them the ‘reinforcement principle’… they get more of what they acknowledge… so that they begin to routinely thank the ones they love for even the smallest favor. They already practice common courtesy when they are in public, thanking coaches, the lunch lady, the checkout clerks… let them bring that…

Of course my children will sin, that is not the point. May they freely admit their sin so they will be forgiven and continuously cleansed from all unrighteousness. 1Jn 1:9

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. Let me be a living example of your definition of love so they will grow in knowledge and wisdom and reveal this kind of love to future generations….

Let my children organize their time and follow through with their plans. In doing so, they won’t be consumed by the busyness of life and the frantic “catch- up” which steals their peace. They will then experience a multitude of quiet moments throughout their day. These still quiet moments are the gateway to Your presence…

May my children show and make obvious that they are letters from Christ delivered to the world by me… not written with ink but with the Spirit of the living God… not on tablets of stone but on tablets of the human heart. 2 Co 3:3
