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 yearn for Your presence, for when they do … it is a clear picture of a satisfied life. Just as those who drink water crave water to satisfy their thirst … those who experience the presence of God crave Him to satisfy their souls. Isaiah 55:1-2

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

Everyone has problems. Help my children see theirs differently and know that a problem is a sign they have a promise! As they suffer temporary situations or the actions of others they will learn to trust that You are steadfast and Your plan is to bless them … that as they suffer trials … if…

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
