You purposely created my children with a need that only You can meet. When they come to depend on other sources to fill that need they are guilty of idolatry. May they recognize what they are doing, stop, and learn to enjoy the fullness of a daily relationship with You. 2Pe 3:9, Isa 55:6

Don’t let my children be deceived, they are NOT alone in finding it difficult to trust an invisible God… but they must understand that the level of trust they have for You is monumental in their life as a believer… for my children’s level of earthly blessing is directly tied to that level of trust! Jer. 17:7, John 20;25

My children can’t prosper if they are hanging around fools. Help them discern and choose wholesome minded companions. Thank you for giving them a loving heart and I ask that you guard that heart from joining to the foolish in close companionship (but still love them)… and keep them from judging others… thank God for…

Let my children experience sorrow and deep grief for the wrong things they have done. They will come to You and ask forgiveness, therefore entering Your kingdom by humbling themselves. Evil isn’t present in Your kingdom… may their hearts reside there while still on earth so they may experience Your peace, the peace that passes…

Fill my children with joy by revealing their shortcomings. Do not let them erect defenses against their own inadequacies and try to hide their faults from themselves and others. Let them embrace justified criticism for what it is… encouragement towards spiritual growth. Pr 15:5

I pray my children speak with You this morning, saying to You, “All You command us we will do, and wherever You send us we will go.” Jos 1:16
