I pray my children NEVER ignore the poor … for he who shuts his ear to the cry of the poor will also cry himself and not be answered. Proverbs 21:13

Pride is the bitter enemy of my children. Humility is their dear friend. May I humble myself before God so that humility will be mine. As my children witness my actions they will see with their physical eyes my transformation as I am given a humble heart. They will witness the blessing of God’s strength…

Keep my children in front of Your mirror, set their gaze on You. As they begin to see their reflection through Your eyes they will see the actions they need to take in order to come in line with who You want them to become. Remind them as often as needed to feel no shame…

When my children are knowingly or unknowingly walking in sin, cause their hearts to soften. May they hear and heed Your messengers rather than mock Your rebukes. Yes, gossip really does sting back and those innocent white lies are still entrances for the enemy. There are natural consequences to sin … may my children repent…

Thank You for giving my children one heart and one way. Thank You for Your everlasting covenant with them, that You will not turn away from following them to do them good, and You will not depart from them! Jeremiah 32:38 

Give my children a pure heart. Place in them a desire to study your word and identify all sin lurking in the corners if their life. Let them receive your cleansing so their hearts will be free to obey you. Mt 5:8, Heb 12:1, Jn 15:3, Ps 50:10
