As my children mature, focus their energies on forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead. They are citizens of heaven, straining to reach the end of the race and make it back to You. Php 3:13, 20

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

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

Teach my children the secret of living in every situation, how to get along happily whether they have much or little: For I can do everything with the help of Christ who gives me the strength I need. Php 4:12-13

Let me experience much joy and comfort from my children’s love, specifically their love for others. This kindness so often refreshes the hearts of God’s people. They worship You in serving others and behave as true disciples of Christ. Phm 1:7

Make my children strong … may they NEVER opt for the easy way out and detach from people. Christ gave his life for people … and we were left here on this earth for the purpose of connecting! Matthew 24:12, John 17:18
