As we walk through trials, our one mission is learning to rely on and trust God. Thank You for promising restoration and blessing as we practice our faith in the face of adversity. Dt 30:2-3

Give my children a new heart and put a new spirit into them. May their hearts be soft and able to feel the exquisite pain of the piercing of Your arrows… so that their hearts are no longer hardened against the piercing of Your word and the teachings of our Master. Eze 36:26
May my children dwell in love, to live it and walk it out, and not just love for You but love in action for those around them. For in doing so they place themselves in Your shelter and can weather any storm. Ps 91:1
Dear Lord, search my children and know their hearts, try them and know their thoughts, and show them if there is any wicked or hurtful way in them… and lead them to the way everlasting! Ps 139:23-24
Let my children be grateful. Teach them the ‘reinforcement principle’… they get more of what they acknowledge… so that they begin to routinely thank the ones they love for even the smallest favor. They already practice common courtesy when they are in public, thanking coaches, the lunch lady, the checkout clerks… let them bring that…
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. Pr 21:13
Stop my children from praying for show! Don’t let them become like the hypocrites who love to stand and pray in the churches and street corners so they can be seen by men … for if they do their reward will come from men and not from You. Matthew 6:5
