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
May others look upon my children as strong, courageous, joyful and loving servants of God … and know that You are all powerful and worthy of praise and thanksgiving. I pray others will turn to You because of my children. Joshua 2:11
Help my children understand that it is impossible to go through life without problems. Keep them calm and courageous so they will see that the storms don’t control their destiny, You do. Philippians 1:29, Mark 6:50, Acts 27:25
In the midst of my children’s pain, let them find someone who is hurting and offer them help and hope. In doing so they will please God and possibly save a life! Lk 23:39-43, Ac 7:59-60
Teach my children to feel good, invincible, happy, and free. Show them that the short lived relief from pain that comes from sin will NEVER compare to the eternal power of the Holy Spirit available to them every second of every day. Reveal to me the areas of my life that I have become dependent…
Do not let my children be deceived into believing they are immune to the judgment of our Lord because they reject his authority in their hearts and minds. This world has powerful pulls of deception working to distance us from our maker… strengthen my children’s faith so they will stand firm. Dt 29:19-20
