Take whatever faith my children possess and work with it! Your Word is filled with thousands of promises. May my children use the index at the end of their bibles, find the promises they need to carry them through their current trial… and then believe You that You are able and willing to deliver! May they see me carrying around scriptures tucked in my pockets, enjoy the warmth of my peace and joy… to want what I have and get it for themselves! Ro 4:17-21, Heb 11:1

Give my children a humble spirit that they may come before You and ask You to help their weakness of faith … so that You can begin transforming their heart and teaching them that all things are possible to those that believe. Mark 9:23-24
Another great place for our kids to look up verses is in the small “Bible Promise” books available at Wal-Mart and any Christian book store. They are very user-friendly, divided up into categories such as anger, depression, healing, etc. The books are usually priced less than $5 and make wonderful, useful gifts!
