May my children find favor with the multitude of their brethren by seeking the welfare of others and speaking peace to all they encounter. Esther 10:3

Let my children be grateful. Teach them the ‘reinforcement principle’ … they get more of what they acknowledge … so that they begin to routinely thank the ones they love for even the smallest favor. They already practice common courtesy when they are in public, thanking coaches, the lunch lady, the checkout clerks … let…

My children always have the last word. May they learn to speak encouragement over themselves, tune out the naysayers, and even their own self doubt will begin to disappear … replaced with a winning spirit! Isaiah 65:16

The fiery trials that come against my children are meant to burn the ropes that bind them and set my children free. May they stand in fearless confidence with steadfast patience and endurance so they may fully accomplish the will of God and receive what is promised! Heb 10:35-36, Da 3:23-25

Build in my children a faithful heart… for their prayers to be answered my children must ask in faith without any doubting… for if they doubt they ought not to expect to receive anything from You! Jn 1:6-8

I pray my children love those around them and remain faithful to others You place in their lives. When they do, my children’s lives will not only be filled with earthly blessings but more importantly have access to Your place of Shelter… and remind them that love is ‘doing’ not just ‘feeling’! Show them opportunities…
