May my children wake up today and see only two people groups, those in Christ Jesus and those not. I pray they lavish love on both groups of people. Galatians 3:28

Surround my children with people who celebrate and worship You. May they love and be kind to all people, especially those who don’t know You … keep them from adopting the ways of those who do not trust You … so they do not fall victim to the enemy. Joshua 23:14

My children will not become dependent on earthly vices. They will see me live by every word and expression of God and know You are the path to a satisfactory life … not donuts or Red Bull. Luke 4:4

Lord, help my children see that the temptations that come into their lives are no different from what others experience. You promised to show them a way out so they would not give in; let them see. 1Corinthians 10:13 

My children will not be hindered by their past mistakes. When thoughts of hurt and betrayal enter their minds today, remind my children that You gave Your Son for their forgiveness… so they appreciate Your ultimate act of sacrifice  and live a free, peaceful, and joy filled life. Once their mind is no longer cluttered…

Teach my children that earthly prosperity is NOT the goal but the result! Help them understand that seeking Your will then following it is the goal… for they will become so filled with joy, peace, and love that prosperity will simply become a fringe benefit… the frosting on the cake… and every parent knows that…
