Use me to fill up anything that may still be missing in my children’s faith. Make their love grow and overflow for each other and to everyone else so that Christ will make their hearts strong, blameless, and holy when they stand before You on judgment day. Thessalonians 3:12-13

Of course my children will fall, that is the nature of humanity! I pray they don’t view the fall as the end… but the beginning. Thank You for extending Your hand down to them… I pray they take it, rise in Your strength and finish the course You have set before them! Pr 25:16

As my children mature, I pray they begin to rejoice when they see people acting differently from ‘the world’… following the Lord in obedience instead! When my children truly begin to serve You… their definition of ‘cool’ will completely change from those imitating Hollywood… to those imitating Christ!  1 Co 13:6

As my children are released from bondage and experience freedom in certain parts of their lives … I pray they make the connection that their obedience in those areas set them free. I pray they submit to God’s authority in ALL areas, either all at once, or baby step by baby step until they are…

You promise to make my home joyful and favored if I am consistently righteous.  Make me grateful for that promise so I take it.  In doing so my children will taste the blessing and someday place their home on the same foundation as mine. Pr3:33

I pray my children humble themselves before You rather than forcing You to humble them. May my children find a quiet place to humble themselves before You today so that the boulders of their pride roll off their road to freedom which are blocking their spirits and lives from receiving all that You have planned…
