Guide my children along right paths. Dr. Martin Luther King said, “Cowardice asks: Is it safe? Consensus asks: Is it popular? Character asks: Is it right?” Help my children do the right thing, especially when it costs them, when the wrong this is more ex- pedient, or when no one is looking. Psalms 23:3 

As my children walk throughout their day, may the whispers and jeers fade as they are filled with Your Sprit. They are Your children; loving, strong, wise and beautiful… do not let the world bring them down and crush them. 1 Jn 3:1

As a new day dawns, show my children what old ‘thing or habit’ they need to get rid of. They will not be held back by the past. They will move boldly into this day, their future … with no baggage or regret! Isaiah 43:18

Fill my children with joy. Teach them to know that true joy comes from thankfulness and displaying gratitude through their actions. Thank You for rescuing them from the kingdom of darkness and placing them in the Kingdom of Your Son! Colossians 1:11-13

When my children experience the majesty and beauty of the natural world, may they remember Christ and know that He is the restorer of their souls… that He is altogether lovely… and their friend! SS 5:16

Help my children carry the burden of someone else today, taking time to listen to a hurting friend, show kindness to the lonely, or encourage the downtrodden with their patience. Gal 6:2
