Help my children understand what it means to honor one another above themselves. Let them experience the unexpected joy of helping others and the unbelievable peace that comes when they stop believing that their way is the only way. Romans 12:10

Make my children willing to suffer for Your name, to choose not to sin and stand firm in pleasing You. This is one of the ways they show their love for You and place themselves in the Shelter of the Most High and causes them to dwell in love. Ps 91:1

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. Prov 21:13

Let my children hear the instruction of their father and not reject the teaching of their mother. Pr 1:8

Make my children leaders. Help them understand that the true measure of a leader isn’t getting people to work nor getting them to work hard… it is about getting them to work together. 1Sa 7:12 Nu 11:14, Ne 4:6

I trust Christ to save me. Use my life to teach my children that God’s way of making us right with Himself depends on faith, not their own goodness. Let them experience the mighty power that raised Christ from the dead.  Philippians 3:9-10
