Go with my children into the New Year so they will live and not hide. Give them the catalyst to activate their faith … courage. Show them how to tremble their way to confidence, that courage isn’t the absence of fear, but the conquest of it.  Deuteronomy 31:6 

May the Lord make my children increase, excel, and overflow in love for one another and for all people … just as I do for them! 1Thessalonians 2:14

I trust Christ to save me. Use my life to teach my children that God’s way of making us right with Himself depends on faith, not their own goodness. Let them experience the mighty power that raised Christ from the dead. Philippians 3:9-10

I pray my children view their circumstances with You as the focal point and see that their problems are a platform to display Your power to act on their behalf… may they understand this, stand firm in their faith, and NOT let the enemy get the best of them! Mt 14:24-33

Let my children meet the needs of others. Give them abundant resources of all kinds so they can soothe a grieving world. Allow them to bring glory to You through their generous hearts. 2Co 9:11

As we walk through trials, our one mission is learning to rely on and trust God. Thank You for promising restoration and bless- ing as we practice our faith in the face of adversity. Deuteronomy 30:2-3
