Help me understand that true joy and peace are directly tied to my faith. If I want more joy, or more peace… I must simply ask You for more faith. Just as eating pie brings a smile to my face, asking for more faith brings a smile to my soul. Eating pie last week didn’t do anything for me today… and neither will my prayers from last week sustain me through today! Php 4:6-7
Don’t let my children be discouraged by correction. Remind them that You discipline those You love, and punish those You accept as your children. Hebrews 12:5-6

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. Php 3:9-10
Of course my children will sin, that is not the point. May they freely admit their sin so they will be forgiven and continuously cleansed from all unrighteousness. 1Jn 1:9
Pray my married children never mistreat their spouse… not only will they hurt the one they love… they will block the blessings from the ONE who loves them! 1 Pt 3:7
You promise to make my home joyful and favored if I am just and consistently righteous. Make me grateful for that promise so that I take it. In doing so my children will taste the blessing and someday place their home on the same foundation as mine. (Prov. 3:33)
