When my children feel trapped and alone along the path You set before them, tell them to fear not and stand firm, confident, and undismayed. You promised to fight for them so they will not lose their peace as they rest in the comfort of Your embrace… like a small child in his father’s arms….

God, please give my children complete understanding of what You want them to do in their lives, and I ask You to make them wise with spiritual wisdom. Col 1:9

Help my children grasp that Your promises apply only under covenant relationship. Let them understand that You never break Your promises … but if my children choose to break covenant with You by living in unrepentant disobedience … they have broken the covenant and ultimately their conduit in receiving Your promises. 1 Chronicles 28:9

When my children choose to live by Your Spirit, give them a harvest of blessing at the appropriate time so they don’t get discouraged and give up. Show them opportunities to do good so they may please You. Gal 6:8-10

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…

Let the way my children live honor and please You Lord so they will continually do good, kind things for others. All the while, they will learn to know You better and better. Col 1:10
