Send a mentor into each of my children’s lives, someone who will learn their strengths and encourage them to grow in the direction of Your Son! Thank you for letting me shepherd my flock … and thank you for sending help! Philippians 3:17

Help my children listen to Your word and obey it. They will show others the goodness of God for You called them out of the darkness and into Your wonderful light. 1Peter 2:8-9

Give my children the heart to protect your creation. They have dominion over the works of your hands and all things have been put under their feet. Make them aware of how precious and important they are in this world. Ps 8:6

Let my children think of ways to encourage one another (and the world) with outbursts of love and good deeds. Heb 10:24

Reveal to my children their unique gifts. Give them the wisdom and courage to manage them well so that your generosity can flow through them. 1Pt 4:10
