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

My children have a hope and a future. Help them to focus on that, not the past. Use their pain to show them how to help bring healing to others … that it is the broken who become masters at mending. Isaiah 43:18-19

My children will be the salt of this earth, daily preserving the attributes of Christ within them so they may bring forth Your love to a hurting world. Lev 2:13, Mk 9:50

  Thank you for purchasing my children’s freedom with the life of your own Son. You understand our pain because you have already faced our deepest fear and greatest loss- the loss of a child. Let us run to you for comfort when we feel overburdened by our pain. Col 1:14

Let my children hear the instruction of their father and not reject the teaching of their mother. Pr 1:8

You have given my children the exact tools to tackle today. I pray their minds stay present and focused on living today like it was the most important day of their life… for tomorrow You will give them what they need to tackle tomorrow. It is irrelevant that they may not have today what it…
