Thank you for purchasing my children’s freedom with the life of Your own Son. You understand our pain because You have a ready 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. Colossians 1:14

Let the way my children live honor and please You Lord so they will continually do good, kind things for others. All the while, they will learn to know You better and better. Col 1:10  

Let each of my children be an instrument of peace… taking risks to be the voice of reason in a fallen world. We all need to reach out to our world to prevent others from choosing sin, to offer alternatives and God’s wisdom… please give my children the strength and most importantly a humble spirit…

Don’t let any unwholesome talk come out of my mouth, but only what is helpful for building other’s up. My children will know my criticism is for their benefit and not feel the sting but only the comfort of my hand leading them in the way of God. Eph 4:29

Show my children specific areas of their lives where they are displeasing You. May they repent, receive forgiveness and then work to remove those behaviors from their lives. In doing so, they will be free to live a life that is full of joy, peace, and much love! 2Ti 3:15-17

Today, each of my children will encounter at least one person who is hurting … whether they recognize the pain or not. May my children be the encouragers of this world bringing hope and joy to everyone they meet. When my children are hurting, I pray they realize You haven’t turned your back on them…
