May my children’s ears be opened to the voice of reason. God will send wisdom through others, especially in the area of vengeance… and if my children withstand the urge to repay evil for evil… God will fight their battles and my children will see victory! 1Sa 25  

Do not let my children be deceived into believing they are immune to the judgment of our Lord because they reject His authority in their hearts and minds. This world has powerful pulls of deception working to distance us from our maker… strengthen my children’s faith so they will stand firm. Dt 29:19-20

Lord, help my children see that the temptations that come into their lives are no different from what others experience. You promised to show them a way out so they would not give in; let them see. 1Co 10:13

I pray my children hear You when You speak to them… through pastors, their Bibles, nature, songs, whispers, and sometimes my voice. You speak to them throughout the day gently nudging them in the direction of Your will… may they seek You and be aware of Your constant presence. Rev 2:29

Speak tenderly to my children after You chastise them so they will be more open to receive Your forgiveness and subsequently obey Your voice. Give me a tender spirit also so my discipline will be an earthly example of the freedom that follows repentance and results in obedience. Isa 40:1-2

Celebrate with me as my children skid into bed each night… exhausted, scrapped up, used up and out of gas… fill them up so they can work for You tomorrow as triumphantly as they did today! I will rejoice as my children live fully until the day You call them home. Isa 40:29, Ps 118:24…
