We are commanded by Jesus Christ not to worry. Most of the trouble my children fear will never happen … worry is simply Satan’s tool to steal their day … and eventually their life!
Matthew 6:25

Matthew 6:25
Do not let my children value what is worthy by the measure of this world. They will not fear displeasing their peers and being left out of certain circles, rather, they will develop a wholesome dread of displeasing You. Is 8:12-13
May the Holy Spirit be the greatest contributor to the level of trust my children have for You. The more they listen to His still quiet voice and obey His promptings… the closer they will come to reflecting Christ’s love to the world and the richer they will grow in the fruits of the Spirit….
Give my children a humble spirit that they may come before You and ask You to help their weakness of faith… so that You can begin transforming their heart and teaching them that all things are possible to those that believe. Mk 9:23-24
Give my children an overcoming spirit. Turn their weakness into strength so that they may develop the kind of faith that refuses to settle for anything less than God has promised. Heb 11:34
You promise to make my home joyful and favored if I am just and consistently righteous. Make me grateful for that promise so that I take it. In doing so my children will taste the blessing and someday place their home on the same foundation as mine. Pr 3:33
When my children feel the favor, benefits, and opportunities that seem too good to be true, as if the stars have lined up and everything is too perfect … I pray they give You the glory. May they walk securely in Your favor in these moments and reject any feeling of discouragement, weariness or exhaustion….
