When my children experience the majesty and beauty of the natural world, may they remember Christ and know that He is the restorer of their souls… that He is altogether lovely… and their friend! SS 5:16

May my children show and make obvious that they are letters from Christ delivered to the world by me… not written with ink but with the Spirit of the living God… not on tablets of stone but on tablets of the human heart. 2 Cor. 3:3

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. Isa 43:18-19 

The world around us is under the power and control of the evil one. My children are safe, Your Son holds them securely so that the evil one cannot get his hands on them. Keep my children away from anything that might take Your place in their hearts. 1John 5:18-19

Bless my children with the kind of faith that empowers them to receive what they ask for in prayer. Prompt them to forgive all grudges they are holding against others. In doing so, they are equipped to embrace Your promise that whatever they ask for in prayer, if they believe that they have received it,…

As my children mature, focus their energies on forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead. They are citizens of heaven, straining to reach the end of the race and make it back to You. Php 3:13, 20
